The group will make recommendations for level 3 change to DHS’s Culture of Safety Action Group to help organizations move from a culture of fear to a culture of safety.
The Culture of Safety Data Action Group includes Metro Regional Quality Council members, Metro Regional Quality Council staff, and DHS Representatives.
