Advance the safety of health information technology through collaboration and dissemination of best practices
The Partnership for Health IT Patient Safety (Partnership), a multi-stakeholder collaborative, brought together providers, vendors, development companies, professional organizations, human factors experts, and others to set priorities in health IT safety. We evaluated all available evidence, derived safety recommendations, and prioritized how to achieve the greatest impact.
