The state of healthcare safety 2026
“First, do no harm” is medicine’s enduring promise, but safety is not sustained by intention alone. It is built, reinforced, and protected by the systems that leaders design and the cultures they shape.
Join us for this webinar where we’ll explore findings from Press Ganey’s “State of Healthcare Safety 2026.” Drawing on national data spanning safety culture, workforce engagement, event reporting, safety outcomes, and patient experience, the session will examine how subtle shifts in culture, communication, reporting behaviors, and workforce stability signal future performance—long before harm becomes visible.
