Overview
Mission
Providing medical patients information, strategies, and educational resources to manage their health care experience while partnering with health care providers to reduce risk of harm by adverse events such as medical error, while promoting public awareness of methods to improve health care quality and safety.
What it reported doing in 2023
Websites, publications, books, online classes and speaker conferences will be the way that this non profit will develop its program services to educate the public in managing their health care with the goal to reduce risks and improve health care quality and safety.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
