Best

For All

Through understanding of need and identifying areas for improvement, hospitals will integrate respectful patient care, address differences in patient outcomes, integrate standardized screening for conditions and policies affecting health with appropriate referrals, as well as discharge planning into the care plan, thus improving the overall patient experience and ensuring all patients have access to respectful care. 

“The TN Center for Patient Safety (TCPS) at THA enthusiastically supports TIPQC and Tennessee hospitals as we collectively work to improve maternal care and outcomes across the state.”

-Tammy Van Dyk, Sr. VP Quality and Patient Safety at TN Hospital Association
