Council of Industry Partners

The Council of Industry Partners (CIP) is a year-round partnership for organizations seeking deeper engagement with MPSC beyond a single event. CIP connects patient safety leaders, industry organizations, and solution providers to accelerate improvements in patient safety through ongoing collaboration, strategic dialogue, innovation, and shared learning.

Through CIP, partners build relationships with healthcare leaders and other organizations working to improve patient safety, contribute expertise and perspective to shared priorities, and engage in meaningful opportunities throughout the year to learn, collaborate, and help shape the future of patient safety.

The Council brings together industry partners, healthcare leaders, patients and families, and other organizations working to improve patient safety. By connecting perspectives across sectors, CIP creates opportunities to identify shared priorities, learn from one another, and explore where collective action can make a difference.

Progress in patient safety depends on this kind of cross-sector collaboration—drawing on diverse expertise, sharing what works, and working together on challenges that no single organization can address alone.
