O'Beirne M, Reid R, Zwicker K, et al. J Patient Saf. 2013;9(4):211-8.
This study estimated a cost of approximately CAD $260,000 over 4 years to develop and run a safety learning system for family physician clinics in Calgary, Alberta. Policy makers and payers may need to determine whether there is an adequate return on investment for the sustainability of these types of programs.
