The Professional Accountability Program (PACT) provides a framework for ensuring that our providers and staff are consistently exhibiting behaviors that support our health system values. The program utilizes interventions aimed at promoting insight, accountability, and appropriate improvements in behavior through the use of peers as peer messengers. These peer messengers are specifically trained to provide first-line, confidential support and coaching in a supportive, non-punitive way.
