NCPS hosted a table at NHA's June 10th Rural Health Conference in Kearney. Current NCPS members, as well as persons unfamiliar with the services and collaboration available to members of a Patient Safety Organization, engaged with NCPS consultant, Russ Buzalko, PhD, MAS.
NCPS enjoyed 2 days of interactions with current NCPS members and the opportunity to speak with persons unfamiliar with Patient Safety Organizations. We thank members for their continued support and contributions to NCPS and all physician assistants for the incredible work they do in their care of patients.

The Nebraska Medical Association and the Nebraska Academy of Physician Assistants have again stepped forward as champions for patient safety by initiating and advocating for the enactment of Legislative Bill 25 (LB25). As a result, a Patient Safety Cash Fund will be created, through the collection of patient safety fees from physicians, osteopathic physicians, and physician assistants.
