The Midwest Alliance for Patient Safety, a federally listed patient safety organization aligned with the Illinois Hospital Association, has partnered with the ECRI Institute to help guide the transformation of patient care in Illinois.
Benefits of the partnership include the following:
- Analytic support and access to quality improvement tools
- Professional and peer insight into patient safety event prevention
- Patient safety newsletters and webinars
- Conference calls to share best practices
"Our collective resources will support patient safety initiatives while providing all the benefits and protections of belonging to a PSO," said Maryjane Wurth, CEO of MAPS. "By collaborating with ECRI Institute, MAPs is one step closer to our goal of providing the most comprehensive and dynamic PSO program in the Midwest."
