PACT Collaborative
The PACT Collaborative – convened by The Center and Ariadne Labs – helps healthcare organizations move from good intentions to reliable practice after harm.
The PACT Collaborative helps healthcare organizations build and strengthen Communication and Resolution Programs (CRPs) through structured learning, expert guidance, and peer collaboration.
About the PACT Collaborative
The PACT Collaborative convenes healthcare organizations for a structured, year-long initiative to improve how they respond after harm.
Through guided learning, real-world application, and peer collaboration, teams build the knowledge, skills, and systems needed to implement a comprehensive and reliable Communication and Resolution Program.
Launched in 2020 by The Center for Harm Response, Ariadne Labs, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the Collaborative’s 5th cohort begins Spring 2027.
Start to engage your multidisciplinary team now – including leadership, clinical care, patient safety, risk management, and patient relations. Now accepting applications for the next PACT Cohort! Download the PACT Collaborative Information Packet to learn more!
