Patient Safety Fund in Washington State

An interesting approach to improve patient safety that is suprisingly supported by both health care providers, and malpractice lawyers.

"The plan would create a patient safety account for grants and loans to support efforts to reduce errors in medical treatment, emphasizing evidence-based practices recommended by a variety of government and private medical groups... [The account] would be funded by a $2-per-bed annual fee paid by hospitals, a $2-per-license fee charged to health care professionals and a fee of 1 percent of any attorney contingency fee for malpractice lawsuits. "
