Doctors, nurses, and administrators from across the country came to Boston to talk about what works—and what doesn’t—to foster a safe culture for patient care. Personal accountability, team training, and the need to share hero stories led the conversation. Harvard’s malpractice insurer helped link clinical culture to liability claims. These excerpts are from the 2014 CRICO conference, “Walk This Way: Patient Safety Symposium.”
