New Patient Care Program aims to engage patients and reduce costs

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation recently launched a Patient Care Program that seeks to eliminate all preventable harms to patients and reduce complications and patient readmissions that could be averted.

The program will also focus on engaging patients and their families in their own health care by developing an approach focused on team-based care, as well as processes and technology designed to be supportive of patient engagement while reducing health care costs. The foundation was established to advance environmental conservation, scientific research, and patient care. More information on the Patient Care Program is available online.
