The Regional Associations have developed patient-safety collaboratives to lead the patient-safety effort: 

• Bay Area Patient Safety Collaborative (Beacon)

• Southern California Patient Safety Collaborative

• San Diego Patient Safety Council 

The collaboratives focus on extensive peer-to-peer learning, health care education and training to end inadvertent harm to hospitalized patients and improve the quality of health care for all. This voluntary network of nurses, physicians, clinicians and hospital leaders focuses on sharing practical ways to accelerate the implementation and replication of proven, evidence-based, patient-safety interventions that save lives.
