Content ArticleThe trend towards health system mergers and acquisitions in the US is likely to continue in 2024. Mergers can be beneficial. However, post-merger integration can take years to complete and can have an adverse effect on patient safety, care culture and care quality. Some healthcare researchers have dubbed mergers as 'life events' for health systems.[1] Health system mergers and acquisition projects need to include a special task force to assess the risks to patient safety management practices.

A complex adaptive systems approach to patient safety
Kumar posted an article in Improving patient safety
Hospitals are complex adaptive systems. They are industrial environments where it isn't always possible to expect predictable responses to inputs. Patient safety management practices need to adapt to align with the environment in which events occur. It is time to reimagine safety event reporting and management solutions that guide, not prescribe, investigations and improvement actions.- Posted
