TrygFonden, Danish Regions and the Danish Society for Patient Safety are working together on the Danish Safer Hospital Programme 2010-2013 with expert assistance from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, IHI.
The Danish Safer Hospital Programme is designed to prevent inadvertent errors, injuries and deaths. The aims are to achieve 15% reduction in mortality and 30% reduction in harm, by ie. reducing the number of cardiac arrests, eliminating hospital infections, reducing pressure ulcers, and preventing medication errors. The results will be shared and disseminated to be an inspiration for the country's other hospitals.
