HFMA to partner with patient safety foundation

Healthcare Financial Management, Dec, 2005

HFMA has agreed to partner with the National Patient Safety Foundation on a new project aimed at improving the adoption and integration of patient safety solutions.

The NPSF Value Proposition Template Initiative will create templates to describe the value proposition and the business case for various patient safety solutions in terms that are relevant to chief clinical and administrative executives. This will enable an organization's entire management team to have an informed dialogue regarding initiatives that could be implemented to improve patient safety.

Michael D. Rowe, FHFMA, CPA, vice president of finance/CEO for SCL Health System in Lenexa, Kan., will represent HFMA on the work group.
