The Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) held 4 Safety Improvement Projects in 2018/2019. Thirty teams from across Canada participated in the Safety Improvement Project Learning Collaborative with a lifecycle of 18 months. A brief description of each project is provided below:

• Teamwork and Communication focused on improving patient safety culture and positive patient outcomes.
• Medication Safety at Care Transitions focused on improving medication safety at discharge for frail, elderly patients with poly-morbidity.
• Enhanced Recovery Canada focused on improving outcomes and system efficiencies for colorectal surgery patients.
• Measurement and Monitoring of Safety focused on creating a culture of safety and reducing harm in organizations. 

The Safety Improvement Projects concluded with a virtual congress on October 28th and 29th 2020. Please see the short Highlights video (4:22).
