A supplement accompanies this month’s issue of QSHC—Safety by Design. It reflects the work of a group of scholars who assembled in Washington, DC, at the Second US/UK Patient Safety Methodology Workshop, which was jointly sponsored by the UK National Patient Safety Agency and the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The Guest Editor is QSHC Associate Editor James Battles, PhD, and the supplement is supported by a generous grant from AHRQ. The papers reflect the thinking of a series of inter-professional global experts. They advance the premise that greater progress in healthcare improvement and patient safety will be found in system design that is anchored in design elements with the patient at the centre. They range from theory to application and are intended to inform as well as challenge conventional thinking. Readers are invited to respond on the QSHC website or by letter.
