Popis: Risk managers can play a vital role in promoting transparency in health care and enhancing patient safety. However, little is known about risk managers' patient safety attitudes and experiences. Therefore, the authors surveyed members of the American Society for Healthcare Risk Management, the largest organization of health care risk managers in the country. These risk managers identified important areas for improvement in the reporting and disclosure of medical errors.
