The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) announced plans this week to merge their organizations, effective May 1.
In a press release, the two organizations stated that in recognition that patient safety is a public health issue, they also recognized the need for fresh, robust approaches and constant focus for health care systems. The combined organization will be led by IHI President and CEO Derek Feeley and will continue under the IHI name.
