Quality and Safety Web Resources
Last Updated: February 24, 2009
SHS is proud to introduce the latest contribution from our Tools and Content Committee
(PAM – replace “Tools and Content Committee” text above with a link to the attached
Roster). Intended as a comprehensive portal to all things Healthcare Quality and Safety,
this resource list will continually evolve as more organizations are discovered. We
encourage anyone to submit potential additions to the Tools and Content committee.
Enjoy!
