Consulting

We want to share with other health care organizations the many lessons that we’ve learned and the award-winning quality and the patient safety programs that we’ve built and refined. Our staff of clinical experts and administrative and research professionals provide consulting services in such areas as:

• Boards, Executives and Strategy—Learn how to embed and deploy quality and safety a part of your core business strategy by engaging boards, executive teams, middle managers and frontline staff.
• Reducing Health Care-Associated Infections and Complications—Learn about tools and strategies for preventing bloodstream and surgical site infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis and other infections and complications.
