Organizational priority setting, leadership practices that motivate the pursuit of safety

The Patient Safety Culture “bundle” is arranged in three main parts with sub-sections under each; as with other safety bundles, all components are required to improve patient safety culture. Improving patient safety culture requires sequential, iterative and simultaneous interventions that ENABLE, ENACT and LEARN.

This section specifically examines the ENABLING components of the Bundle.
