What We’re Learning There are a wide range of ideas about emerging best practices and innovations, and the ideas cluster into a model with three general categories: –Point of Care –Policy & Protocol –Governance Most groups are doing patient outreach and report using a wide variety of tools to communicate about patient safety –Hospitals report that their patient and family engagement efforts have helped them achieve measurable positive trends in reducing medical errors and hospital readmissions
