Has Your Facility Joined the National Partnership for Patients?

A new public-private partnership that will help improve the quality, safety, and affordability of health care for all Americans, the Partnership for Patients brings together leaders of hospitals, employers, physicians, nurses, and patient advocates along with state and federal governments in a shared effort to make hospital care safer, more reliable, and less costly. To help achieve these goals, public and private partners will develop models to deliver better care for patients that can be shared widely. The 2 major goals of the partnership are to: keep patients from getting injured or sicker; and help patients heal without complications. Nearly 4500 organizations – including more than 2000 hospitals – have pledged their support for the Partnership for Patients. For more information and to pledge your support, click here.
