Statewide Patient Safety Coalitions: A Status Report

In 12 states, providers, purchasers, consumers, and regulators have recognized the value of coordinating their efforts and have formed statewide public/private patient safety coalitions. These coalitions are educating health care professionals, purchasers, consumers, and policy makers about the nature of medical errors, the culture of safety, and strategies for reducing risks. The seven most mature coalitions are profiled in this report. Coalition members share lessons learned in membership development, communication, successful activities, and building trust.
