Hospitals must leverage strategic planning and organizational policies to demonstrate a commitment to safety as a core value. The use of written policies and protocols that demonstrate patient safety is a priority, and identifying goals, metrics and practices to advance progress is foundational to creating an accountable and transparent organization. Hospitals should acknowledge the ultimate goal of zero preventable harm, even while recognizing that this goal may not be currently attainable and requires a continual process of improvement and commitment. Patient safety and equity in care are inextricable and therefore equity, with the goal of safety for all individuals, must be embedded in safety planning, goal-setting, policy and processes.
