LUCIAN LEAPE INSTITUTE AT THE NATIONAL PATIENT SAFETY FOUNDATION
The Mission The Institute, founded in 2007, is charged with defining strategic paths and calls to action for the field of patient safety, offering vision and context for the many efforts underway within health care, and providing the leverage necessary for change at the system level. Its members comprise national thought leaders with a common interest in patient safety whose expertise and influence are brought to bear as the Institute calls for the innovation necessary to expedite the work and create significant, sustainable improvements in culture, process, and outcomes critical to safer health care.
Transforming Concepts The initial work of the Institute has been to articulate transforming concepts necessary to the success of patient safety work and requiring system-level attention and action. The initial six concepts on which the Institute is focusing are:
Each of these concepts is being deliberated, in turn, at a convened Roundtable comprised of Institute members and invited experts. The goal of each Roundtable is to discuss the specific transforming concept and come to consensus on approaches for its pursuit. Recommendations and calls to action will be published, providing the strategic leverage necessary to influence the system, create change, and offer needed focus and direction for those working in the field.
The Institute and NPSF The Lucian Leape Institute has its administrative offices in Boston, Massachusetts, at the headquarters of the National Patient Safety Foundation. The Foundation has been diligently pursuing one mission since its founding in 1997 – to improve the safety of the healthcare system for the patients and families it serves. NPSF is unwavering in its determined and committed focus on uniting disciplines and organizations across the continuum of care, championing a collaborative, inclusive, multi-stakeholder approach.
