"Paternship for Patients" is a new initiative that aims to reduce to number of patient getting sicker as compared to the 2010 levels and to increase the number of patient that heal without complication by 2013. It was formed by The department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in partnership with leaders of major hospitals, employers, physicians, nurses, and patient advocates along with state and federal governments in a shared effort to make hospital care safer, more reliable, and less costly.
