 Person‐centered care: Patients, families, and care partners experience lifelong care journeys across the entire continuum of care. They have a unique and essential perspective on care delivery, and their insights on “what matters” are critical for creating safer care.

 Care across the entire continuum: Care is provided in locations outside of hospitals, including ambulatory, long‐term care facilities, home, and other community‐based settings. The recommendations in the National Action Plan are meant to be relevant to all settings across the care continuum.

 The relationship between patient safety and health equity: Health inequities are “linked to the complicated history and reality of racism, classism, sexism, ableism, ageism, and other forms of oppression.” Inequities result in a concentration of harm in specific population groups, based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, and income, and must be considered when designing safety efforts to ensure that inequities are being addressed.
