Moving the needle on patient safety in Canada requires an overall shift in culture, values and expectations at all levels of the health system and the active engagement of various policy actors. Whether you are a policy maker, healthcare leader, administrator, provider, or member of the public, you can help us achieve our goal.

The topics in this section focus on ways that all actors in Canadian healthcare policy can stimulate conversation and action on the following policy levers: legislation, regulations, standards, organizational policies and public engagement. Together, we can shift policy so that patient safety becomes the highest priority.
