In healthcare, there is ia big taboo on failure and mistakes. However, people really do their best to create an environment in which patients get the best care and treatments, professionals enjoy their important work and society gets most (health) value for money.

Still, things can go wrong and that’s why the Institute of Brilliant Failures has proposed to develop a project to highlight the importance of experimentation and learning to improve the healthcare system. This initiative is supported by ZonMW, the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development.
