The Center for Harm Response

About The Center for Harm Response

Despite the best efforts of healthcare organizations and providers, harm in healthcare will still occur. Reactive, defensive, or inconsistent responses to harm in healthcare worsen suffering, erode trust, stifle essential learning, and increase costs. The nation’s leading experts in harm response formed The Center for Harm Response to solve this problem by partnering with patients, families, clinicians, healthcare organizations, and professionals who support them in their pursuit of a better, more reliable response to harm. Our vision: When healthcare causes harm, patients, families, and clinicians always get the support they need, and organizational responses drive healing, learning, safety, and trust each and every time.
