Hospitals across the state are working to improve the quality of the care they deliver - and share meaningful information about that care with the public. While these patient safety efforts go on within individual hospitals, they also happen through a variety of partnerships and forums, including the Minnesota Alliance for Patient Safety and MHA's Patient Safety Task Force.
