A Statewide Approach to a Just Culture for Patient Safety: The Missouri Story

The Missouri Just Culture Collaborative brought together health-care providers, regulators, and other key stakeholders to learn and implement the principles of Just Culture. Under the leadership of the Missouri Center for Patient Safety, 67 health-care providers and regulatory agencies worked together to implement aspects of Just Culture. The collaborative led to an improved understanding between providers and regulators about barriers to implementing true Just Culture and how regulators can support provider efforts to improve the safety culture.
