BACKGROUND:
|
The Betty and Gordon Moore Foundation, through its Betty Irene Moore Nursing Initiative, supports efforts to “Improve nursing –related patient outcomes in acute care hospitals”. Improving patient safety practices is one area of emphasis of this initiative. In March, 2005 the Foundation created the San Francisco Bay Area Challenge Grant Program to speed implementation of patient safety related interventions in Bay Area hospitals. All hospitals were encouraged to apply for this Challenge grant.
