 An initiative of the Tennessee Hospital Association

In 2007, the Tennessee Hospital Assocation (THA), through its not-for-profit, education and research subsidiary, Tennessee Hospital Education and Research Foundation), launched the Tennessee Center for Patient Safety, which provides education, resources and other tools to assist hospitals in accelerating their performance on quality and patient safety initiatives.  The association received a three-year grant from the Blue Cross-Blue Shield Tennessee Health Foundation to fund the center.  Collaboration continues throughout Tennessee at regional networking meetings and statewide conferences.  Our priority is to reduce healthcare-acquired infections with use of evidence-based strategies.  TCPS has an ongoing partnership with patient safety expert Dr. Peter Pronovost with Johns Hopkins University.
