Quality/Patient Safety Series

Quality Collaboration

The Quality Collaboration Meeting is a quarterly webinar that gives many Texas rural hospitals the opportunity to discuss current quality/patient safety topics in an open forum with key staff in similar facilities.

This meeting provides rural hospitals with the opportunity to network with each other in seeking solutions and or input to issues common to similar hospitals. Discussions often include patient safety issues, quality improvement and upcoming legislative changes. At the conclusion of the meeting, the floor is open to all for discussion of any current issues, questions or problems.
