Johns Hopkins Medicine received an $8.9 million award that will be used to better understand how to prevent harm in hospital ICUs.
The first award was given as part of a new $500 million, 10-year program designed to eliminate all preventable harms that patients experience in the hospital. The half-billion-dollar funding comes from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
Johns Hopkins researchers hope to improve ICU outcomes by using a systems-engineering approach to healthcare, leveraging technologies and creating processes focused on efficiency and safety.
