The Patient Safety Committee will promote a culture of safety throughout our system by establishing safety as a priority for all staff, patients, family members and visitors. We will encourage reporting and investigation of adverse events and near misses in order to identify opportunities for improvement and to reduce the opportunity for this type of event to occur in the future.
We will learn from our experiences and the experiences of others. We will develop systems that enhance communication, transparency, idea sharing and process improvement.
Our patients and families will have confidence that Cook Children's Health Care System is a safe place to receive care.
