At the Minnesota Alliance for Patient Safety (MAPS), we believe that safe care is everyone’s responsibility—and everyone’s right. We bring together a broad and diverse coalition of healthcare leaders, providers, patients, families, and organizations across Minnesota to advance safety in every care setting.

Our work is powered by committed partners: a passionate Board of Directors, engaged partner organizations, dedicated staff, and individuals who care deeply about improving care experiences and outcomes.

MAPS leads and supports statewide efforts through:

• Innovative educational programs

• Collaborative improvement projects

• Meaningful patient and family partnership

• Cross-setting partnerships that break down silos

Together, we’re building a culture of learning, transparency, and trust—so that every person in every care setting receives safe, respectful, and reliable care.

Traditional safety work often begins with what went wrong.
The MAPS Caring Safely Tour flips that lens — visiting hospitals, long-term care, and community organizations across Minnesota to explore what enables care to go right.

At each stop, healthcare teams, patient partners, and safety leaders come together to see safety in action, share stories of success, and uncover the systems and relationships that make it possible. A collaborative debrief follows every visit — capturing “wise practices” and lessons worth spreading statewide.

Born from Minnesota’s Statewide Network of Safety Leaders, the Caring Safely Tour is helping build a more connected, compassionate, and resilient safety culture — one story, one site, and one shared success at a time.
