Improving Health Care Quality and Patient Safety

Stratis Health is an independent, nonprofit organization that leads collaboration and innovation in health care quality and safety, and serves as a trusted expert in facilitating improvement for people and communities. We've worked to improve health care quality for more than 40 years.

As an independent, nonprofit organization, we approach all of our work from a quality and patient safety perspective, with a focus on achieving sustainable change. We develop and implement initiatives and projects for clinical and organizational change. Our technical assistance and resources are designed to empower our clients to become knowledgeable about content and truly understand processes so they are set up to successfully continue on the improvement path on their own. We work toward our mission through initiatives funded by diverse public and private sources.
