Everyone wants and deserves safe care. Yet the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has intensified challenges providing safe care and exacerbated health human resource gaps.  With health systems across the country under strain unintended harm is rising. Now more than ever, we need to focus on safety for everyone.  Safety conversations are an important step in building a proactive patient safety culture.  They’re a respectful discussion about safety between two or more people involved in organizing, delivering, seeking, and/or receiving care, including healthcare workers, patients/residents/clients, and essential care partners. When healthcare workers, patients/residents/clients and essential care partners prioritize talking about safety and acting on the insights, outcomes and experiences improve for everyone.
