Center for Healthcare Solutions (YNHHS-CHS)
Current national healthcare concerns include meeting the requirements of The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals to improve healthcare quality and minimize "never events" identified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. YNHHS-CHS has developed and adapted healthcare-focused best practices and evidence-based programs that address these and other healthcare challenges.
