The National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) partners with patients and families, the health care community, and key stakeholders to create a world where patients and those who care for them are free from harm. They work collaboratively to advance patient safety, promote health care workforce safety, and disseminate strategies to prevent harm. NPSF offers a portfolio of programs targeted to diverse stakeholders across the health care industry. The American Society of Professionals in Patient Safety (ASPPS) is part of NPSF. It provides education and oversees professional certification in patient safety and quality. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the National Patient Safety Foundation began working together as one organization in May 2017. The merged entity uses its combined knowledge and resources to focus and energize the patient safety agenda in order to build systems of safety across the continuum of care (National Patient Safety Foundation, 2018).
