IHA Members Receive Federal Grants
Wishard Health Services, Indianapolis, and Ascension Health System, St. Louis, Mo., have been awarded grants from the Department of Health and Human Services to support efforts to implement and evaluate patient safety approaches and medical liability reforms. The demonstration and planning grants will help the health care organizations test models that reduce preventable injuries; foster better communication between doctors and patients; ensure that patients are compensated in a fair and timely manner for medical injuries; and reduce liability premiums.
