The safety integration stakeholders (saints) program to integrate worker and patient safety in Oregon rural hospitals. The rationale is that the saints program will positively impact outcomes by identifying and training peer leaders on strategies to optimize environmental, administrative, and educational components to become a saint and regularly collaborate with safety stakeholders/administrative leaders at each site through continuous improvement cycles (e.g. plan-do-study-act).
