In Module 3, we explore the framework for success in advancing patient safety in health care organizations. Leadership is one of the most critical elements in a successful patient safety program. Safety is dependent on senior leaders in healt hcare organizations to direct efforts that foster the culture and commitment required to address the underlying systems that allow medical errors and harm to occur to patients.
