Working Together for Safe Care Everywhere
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
