Our health care environment gets more complex every day. Meeting the challenge of this changing landscape requires a strong safety culture to support patient safety, workforce well-being, quality outcomes and overall performance.

Feedback from our last safety collaborative was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re pleased to offer the 2027 DELTA Safety Culture Collaborative, a nine-month virtual learning community. This program helps hospitals strengthen their safety culture as they pursue consistently safe, quality care in complex environments.

Workforce pressures aren’t easing, and hospitals need a solid framework to meet growing patient needs and performance expectations. A culture of safety provides a critical foundation for achieving high reliability.

Participants will gain practical tools, expert faculty support and peer-to-peer learning while developing an initiative tailored to their organization’s unique needs. Collaborative sessions will focus on key drivers of safety performance, including:

  • Psychological safety
  • Just culture
  • Teamwork and communication
  • Leadership commitment
  • Learning and improvement
  • High reliability principles
  • Resilience and continuous improvement

Whether you’re launching safety efforts or building on current initiatives, the DELTA Collaborative offers proven, evidence-based strategies and a network of committed peers.

It is not too late to join: hospitals across Washington are already engaged, and there’s still time to participate, learn from industry experts and collaborate with colleagues.

Together, we can strengthen safety culture, advance high reliability and create safer care environments for patients, families and the healthcare workforce.

Sincerely,

Tina Seery
