Dana-Farber recognized that safety should be a core property of its system of care. It made transparency a central goal and, most importantly, it recognized that safety work is never finished; that nothing is permanently “fixed” and that continuous work on quality improvement is the only route to true safety.
This thinking is incubating in criminal justice. One thing currently missing: a state or local system-oriented center for carrying out the all-stakeholders work of producing criminal justice safety.
