GNYHA and the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) have partnered to form the NYS Partnership for Patients (NYSPFP) as a Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) under the Partnership for Patients, a national initiative of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to advance its goals of better health, better care, and lower costs. NYSPFP supports New York State hospitals as they continually strive to provide the safest and finest patient care. Through their strategic partnership, GNYHA, HANYS, and key stakeholder organizations across the state provide resources, cross-cutting improvement strategies, high-quality educational programs, and tailored support to their member hospitals participating in NYSPFP.
