Reducing preventable harm in healthcare settings remains a national priority. This report summarizes the results of the prioritization process used to identify patient safety practices meriting inclusion in the fourth installment of the Making Healthcare Safer (MHS) series (previous installments were published in 2001, 2013, and 2020). The fifteen-member Technical Expert Panel identified 27 priority patient safety practices for examination in the forthcoming report, including several practices that have not been covered in previous MHS reports (e.g., family/caregiver engagement, preventing non-ventilator associated pneumonia, supply chain disruption, high reliability, post-event communication programs).
