Prioritizing Patient Safety Efforts in Office Practice Settings.

Objectives: Outpatient care settings face unique risks of adverse events and medico-legal liability, often worsened by inconsistent processes and fragmented care. Health systems are increasingly providing integrated care that includes outpatient care, but models of how to systematically target medico-legal risk in office practices are largely absent. Innovative and scalable efforts are needed to guide large health systems in their approach to outpatient safety.
