Patient Safety

In 2016, the American College of Healthcare Executives partnered with the IHI Lucian Leape Institute to collaborate with some of the most progressive healthcare organizations and globally renowned experts in leadership, safety and culture. Through this work, they developed Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success, an evidence-based, practical resource published in 2017 to assist healthcare leaders in creating a culture of safety.

In late 2017, ACHE collaborated with researchers at The Ohio State University to conduct surveys of hospital CEOs about the prevalence of some of the key patient safety practices recommended in the blueprint. ACHE expanded on this work in January 2018.
