Rachel Weissburg

Rachel Weissburg is a values-driven health quality professional with two decades of experience in patient safety and patient and family engagement. She began her career at The Leapfrog Group, where she developed the first national, publicly reported policy on adverse events in hospitals.

While at The National Quality Forum, she led a group of national thought leaders who crafted the NQF Patient Passport, a communications tool now used in hospitals nationwide to help patients navigate their inpatient experience and provide critical information to their healthcare team.

She has been a member of multiple Patient and Family Advisory Councils both in Washington DC and California, contributing her own lived experience as a patient with multiple disabilities, and has helped to establish PFACs in hospitals without them. She holds a Master’s degree in Organizational Development from The George Washington University and is currently completing a Master’s of Divinity at Emory University to prepare her for work as a hospital chaplain.
