Infections “Becoming A Patient
Safety Partner”
Tennessee Center for Patient Safety
Healthcare leaders have become increasingly focused on quality and patient safety. However, few know with certainty the impact of their efforts.
How often do we harm patients? How often do patients receive the care
they should? How often do we learn from mistakes? How well do we improve culture?
Tennessee Center for Patient Safety
Why Become a “Safety Partner”?
Improve the culture of safety. Reduce patient harm, by significantly
reducing or eliminating central line bloodstream infections.
Reduce Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus transmission.
Meet or exceed the national goal of a 25 percent reduction in surgical complications by implementing the Surgical Care Improvement Project measures.

What is Required of Partnering Hospitals and Teams?
Each facility must assemble a team committed to accomplishing the objectives in at least one of the initiatives. (CLABSI, MRSA, SCIP) (Facilities can choose more than one or add other initiatives at a later date.)
Hospital chief executive officers must sign a written commitment and designate team members prior to beginning the project.
Each team should include a senior executive, nurse manager, physician champion, infection control, quality and front-line nursing staff.
