The WPSC Speak-Up! Award is a statewide recognition program that acknowledges the efforts of individuals and teams at Washington healthcare organizations who demonstrate a commitment to keeping patients and staff safe by speaking up and voicing their concerns to promote health care safety. Information is found on the award landing page.
The Washington State Patient Safety Coalition unites a diverse range of healthcare stakeholders to achieve one goal: safe care for every patient, every time, everywhere.
Improving safety and decreasing errors requires the active participation of a wide range of committed individuals and organizations. WPSC is member-based program made up of 40+ organizations representing healthcare systems, associations, and advocacy groups across the state of Washington.
We greatly value the involvement of our members, who diversify the conversation with their unique perspectives and experiences. We share information in a safe, neutral setting that allows you to comfortably learn, connect, and collaborate with a community of peers.
Every two years we choose two new initiatives to focus on. Learn about what we’re focused on now.
Curated annually by the WPSC, the Northwest Patient Safety Conference is the only event of its kind in the Western US, uniting healthcare professionals, providers, patients, families, and caregivers from all care settings for a day of networking and engaging in sessions with industry thought leaders and others invested in improving the patient experience.
