12th Annual QIPS Day
The 12th Annual Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Day, held on April 11th, 2025 was another great success thanks to the support of Erlanger, Erlanger Auxiliary and all attendees, judges, and organizers! This year marked a record for attendance at the event and we appreciate everyone who took the time to attend QIPS Day 2025.
QIPS Day is a great engagement in the effort of Quality Improvement and Patient Safety, and is a noble representation of our partnership with Erlanger and we look forward to all the hard work continued into next year!
