When I type in Suncoast center this is what I got
Suncoast Center for Patient Safety Research
New AHRQ-funded Center
In 2001, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) awarded Dr. Wolfson and the University of South Florida approximately $600,000 over 3 years to establish a Developmental Center for Evaluation and Research in Patient Safety.
The focus of this Center is "Safe Patient Transitions from Institutions to the Home". Our overall goal is to successfully plan for and establish a multidisciplinary center for patient safety evaluation and research capable of substantially enhancing the ability of its members to conduct collaborative research that is mutually beneficial, to translate research findings into effective practice, and to disseminate these findings to the larger health care community.
Specifically, our objectives include:
Conduct pilot studies related to patient safety and continuity of care for vulnerable patients discharged from inpatient hospital stays.
Build research capacity related to safe patient transition from institutional care to the home.
Cultivate a "culture of safety" to support clinicians in providing safe patient care, focusing on educational initiatives within academic health centers for physicians, nurses and pharmacists, at the graduate clinical educational level, and within continuing educational programs for practitioners.
Influence local, state, and national policy related to safe patient transitions.
