Patient Safety
Providing the best care for your child means that it needs to be the safest.
There are a number of ways that Children's is working to make our care the best and the safest, both inside the hospital and by sharing our experiences and learning from others at the local and national levels.
You are an important part of our safety efforts. Input from you helps us improve service and provide a safer health care environment. Please feel free to question anything that you don't understand while your child is here.

We participate in several national initiatives to help us design reliable patient care systems and processes. Our goal is to minimize human error and provide the safest environment possible for your child.
