NPSF Patient Safety Listserv: Introduction and information for users
About the Patient Safety Listserv
Patientsafety-L is a moderated listserv (online discussion forum using e-mail) devoted to thoughtful conversation toward the development of a safer healthcare system. Members of the NPSF patient safety listserv represent diverse backgrounds and an impressive array of knowledge and experience. A variety of individuals, including patients and families, researchers, providers, administrators, and those in the boardroom, make up our listserv community. It is our hope that members will continue to raise important questions, address critical issues, and tackle significant problems related to patient safety. We appreciate your continued involvement in this discussion board.
