​​Through the Patient Safety Awards, each year we have the opportunity to highlight some of the best work being done around the state. Nominations for 2018 Patient Safety Awards are open, and we encourage you to nominate an exceptional person or team.

The Indiana Patient Safety Center established the annual Patient Safety Awards to recognize individuals, groups and organizations who have helped bring Indiana closer to the goal of zero patient harms. Nominations for patient safety awards will be accepted until March 30.
