Strong cultures of safety require strong leadership. Over the past few years organizations including the Joint Commission, American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) have written at length about the role of executives and boards in leading patient safety culture.

Join Beterra for a conversation about how to engage senior executives and boards in taking action to improve culture.
