Brittany Esty, MD, went from one point, one patient, one experience at a time to multiple points over time. But she moved from data and didactics into projects and into actually being a part of the patient safety team at her hospital. She learned of problems at the institution, problems across institutions, and began a journey of trying to identify and fix the causes. In this talk, Dr. Esty explains how the HMS Patient Safety and Quality Fellowship, co-sponsored by CRICO, transformed her approach to health care.
