A Blueprint for Action, a report from Patient Safety Learning, furthers the analysis of the systemic causes of this harm and describes actions to make patient care safer. Last September, health and patient safety professionals and patients overwhelmingly welcomed the analysis of avoidable unsafe care offered in Patient Safety Learning’s Green Paper, A Patient-Safe Future.
