Quality Collaborative is the quarterly newsletter of the Greater New York Hospital Association/United Hospital Fund quality improvement initiatives.

This publication will update hospital trustees and senior management, health care policymakers, and other interested members of the health care community on the efforts and successes of New York metropolitan area health care organizations as they develop and implement the quality and patient safety initiatives sponsored by the GNYHA/UHF partnership. In addition to providing news and data related to the initiatives, Quality Collaborative will present profiles of participating organizations and interviews with the region’s quality improvement leaders, some of whom will serve as guest columnists. We hope you find Quality Collaborative informative. We invite you to encourage others to sign up for a free subscription by e-mailing quality_collaborative@gnyha.org.
