A strong safety culture requires skillful leaders with exceptional communication abilities.

A strong safety culture begins with leadership; their behaviors and actions set the bar. I urge all health care leaders to make safety culture a top priority at their health care organization. Establishing and improving safety culture is just as critical as the time and resources devoted to revenue and financial stability, system integration and productivity—because a lack of safety culture can have serious consequences for patients, staff and other stakeholders.
