Resources
The Partnership for Patients will meet its ambitious goals only if every partner – public and private, large and small – gets engaged to improve patient safety. There will be many opportunities to be involved with programs, events, and structured learning. Below you’ll find resources that can help hospitals and providers begin to tackle some of the most common and preventable types of harm that affect patients in hospitals.
