The National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) was an independent not-for-profit organization created in 1997 to advance the safety of health care workers and patients, and disseminate strategies to prevent harm.[1][2] In May 2017, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)[3] and NPSF began working together as one organization.[4]
