The state of Washington will be receiving four grants from the Department of Health and Human Services.  The money will be going to state programs that will work to provide and evaluate patient safety standards.  President Barack Obama announced in September 2009 that he would be passing a new health care bill that reformed United States healthcare.  The Washington investments are part of the patient safety and medical liability initiative that Obama included in the bill. 

The projects that will be funded by the grants will involve communication training for healthcare workers, implementation of a plan for integrating a medical liability and patient safety program, contributing to fostering patient-friendly shared decision making tools for patients undergoing surgery and evaluating the best practices for medication risk management.
