Patient Safety
Safety Collaborative for the Outpatient Environment
The American Medical Group Association (AMGA), the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), and Pharmacia, collaborated on a demonstration project to support improvements in patient safety in the ambulatory health care setting. The Safety Collaborative for the Outpatient Environment or SCOPE had two primary goals:
- To promote patient safety improvement innovations in the ambulatory setting through grants to support improvement initiatives.
- To establish a collaborative of physician-led organizations to standardize patient safety definitions and evaluation criteria, share information on best practices, and recognize outstanding performance.
