Health care–associated infections (HAIs) are a persistent challenge to patient safety. This review found that evidence regarding the role of leadership in implementing the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety framework to HAI reduction was limited. The authors conclude that research is needed to examine how communication and leadership characteristics affect work system approaches to HAI prevention.
