Abstract
Patient safety is a cause for concern among health care providers, payers, employers, policy makers, and the general public. But it is difficult for most case managers to get their arms around what they can do about patient safety in hospitals. This article discusses the patient safety movement in this country and defines the vital role case managers can play in making health care safer for patients. It describes the changing case manager challenges and competencies needed to meet these challenges.
