Feds award Minnesota hospitals $2.5 million to continue patient safety training

The trade group for hospitals in Minnesota has won more federal funding for programs that are designed to prevent patients from suffering harm during hospital stays.

Last week, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced $110 million in funding to 17 national, regional or state hospital associations and health systems for what are called “Hospital Engagement Networks,” which work to improve patient safety.
