- In this thought paper, Adrienne Fresko and Sue Rubenstein look at patient safety advice for boards from recently published guidance and research. They identify the most important messages and the actions they believe board members should take to ensure patients are safe in their organisation.
- The paper looks at three main areas:
- the board’s core roles in relation to patient safety;
- how boards might deliver these roles; and
- the optimal relationship between board leadership, clinical leadership and regulatory oversight.
