Welcome
to The University of Texas Center of
Excellence for Patient Safety Research and Practice.
We are a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary project dedicated
to improving healthcare for providers and patients.
Medical
errors are a common and expensive problem in the U.S. healthcare
system. To address this public health problem, the Institute of
Medicine, the general public, and numerous researchers cite the
aviation industry as an example for the healthcare industry to follow.
We have assembled a multidisciplinary research team that has a track
record of developing, translating, and utilizing aviation safety
practices in healthcare. The individual projects of the Center are
unified by the theme of translating safety practices from aviation
to healthcare.
