Answers were submitted to analysis of content, theme mode, and the following categories emerged: “Establishment of a safety nucleus integrated to the quality management”, “Development of teaching and research strategies for the promotion of patient’s safety” and “Systemic organizational activities for the strategies of patient’s safety”.
