Delmarva Foundation, QIO for the District of Columbia, founded and
facilitates the DC Patient Safety Coalition. Delmarva created a steering
committee for the coalition, bringing together major stakeholders such
as the DC hospital association, DC medical society, department of health,
and providers such as the VA hospital and the National Rehabilitation
Hospital. The coalition has sponsored a series of public events to
raise awareness of patient safety issues, identified health literacy
as an important factor in patient safety, and is creating a formal
initiative to address this issue in the District.
