Letter From the Editor

This March marks the 21st Patient Safety Awareness Week, first initiated in 2002 by the National Patient Safety Foundation to invite conversations on how to reduce harm and improve care. In this issue, you will find four articles that originated from the Patient Safety Authority’s fall master class in writing. Applicants submitted a description of a recent quality improvement study and those selected participated in a two-part workshop. The facilitators, Johns Hopkins’ Olivia Lounsbury and Patient Safety editors Caitlyn Allen and Eugene Myers, helped translate tremendous patient care into publishable manuscripts. (Keep an eye out for future workshops!)
