Help us transform the experience of healthcare. Support the work of the Collaborative for Accountability and Improvement.
Your gift will advance the spread of CRPs, empowering all healthcare organizations to engage in a more compassionate response to patient harm. Below are priority areas where your support can make a life-changing difference for patients and families.
PACT: Pathway to Accountability, Compassion, and Transparency
The Pathway to Accountability, Compassion and Transparency (PACT) is a learning community committed to improving the way healthcare organizations respond to and learn from harm events. PACT is led in partnership with Ariadne Labs. There are three ways that organizations can participate in PACT:
- Organizations newer to CRP and wanting to explore the concepts on their own time can join the Community of Practice.
- Organizations ready to fully implement or dramatically improve a CRP can access the robust support of the PACT Collaborative.
- Organizations with a mature CRP in place that want a community of support around sustainability while serving as an innovative leaders in the field can join our PACT Leadership and Innovation Network.

Understanding Patients’ and Families’ Experience After Harm Events: A Longitudinal Study
The greatest obstacle to effective CRPs is insufficient information about patient and family experiences following harmful events: how their needs evolve and how CRPs can support them. A stronger evidence base could substantially improve institutional responses to injured patients.
We propose investigating how patients’ experiences, needs and expectations change over time, and how CRP processes can be improved to better address those needs. Our 18-month study will follow a diverse cohort of adult patients and their families who have experienced a serious adverse event. The study will be co-led by Thomas H. Gallagher, MD (UW), and Michelle Mello, JD, PhD (Stanford University).
Estimated Cost: $450,000
