We know that there are hospitals making great strides with campaign interventions. If you have a success story to share or think that you could serve as a mentor hospital in the campaign, please contact Sharon Muscatell.

Hospitals Recognized for Implementing Campaign Initiatives

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) provided each designated IHI Node with a small grant to support and recognize the work being undertaken by hospitals related to the 5 Million lives campaign. The Pennsylvania IHI Node chose to highlight organizations that have successfully implemented initiatives that are part of the 5 Million lives campaign. Using the existing HAP Achievement Awards submission process, 11 organizations that submitted superior entries related to any of the campaign topics were awarded a scholarship to attend the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Symposium.
