Press Release: April 14, 2009 - CQPS Announcements: Establishment of CQPS, listing of CQPS Patient Safety Organization, CEO appointed, Summit planned

On March 16, 2009 CQPS offices relocated to 222 South Riverside Drive. We are now housed in the offices of the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council. Martin J. Hatlie, JD has been retained as our new CEO. We look forward to working with the Chicago quality and patient safety communities to develop an exciting agenda for change in the months to come.

On January 1, 2009 CPSF assumed the new name "Coalition for Quality and Patient Safety of Chicagoland" (CQPS), a reorganization and refocusing of our organization to better engage with and serve the needs of the broader healthcare community.

Our members recognize the need for an independent organization to connect existing systems and structures of care to generate the best possible outcomes for patients. CQPS is focused on improving quality and patient safety for all diverse communities of patients and family members.
