Our Mission

Engage consumers as partners in healthcare and mobilize diverse healthcare stakeholders to provide the best possible care to every person every time, by eliminating preventable harm and implementing systemic change to ensure consistent excellence.
 
Project Patient Care is an independent nonprofit organization working to prevent medical errors and continuously improve healthcare quality. We are a diverse community of patients, family members of patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and organizational leaders. We care deeply about ensuring that every patient gets the right care at the right time.

Our work is focused on engaging patients, families, consumers, providers, healthcare organizations and other stakeholders in creating an excellent environment where all persons can thrive. Our services are aimed at improving outcomes and processes of care at an individual, practice, and health system level. We focus on prevention, treatment, and compassionate care while being mindful of the need to be efficient and effective in our approaches.

Some of our current work includes:

  • Outreach and engagement of patients, families, caregivers, and consumers to provide insight and guidance to health care providers and organizations to reduce preventable harm and improve quality of care and safety.
