The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) mission is to produce evidence to make healthcare safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and with other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used.
The grant aims to advance system-level approaches to significantly improve patient safety by enhancing healthcare worker safety and well-being. It operates under the principle that patient safety is intrinsically linked to the health and security of healthcare workers. This initiative seeks to invigorate the patient safety movement by integrating the experiences and insights of healthcare professionals, contributing to a broader goal of elevating safety standards within the healthcare industry.
