The University of Chicago Center for Simulation and Safety in Healthcare is one of 17 research and evaluation
Developing Centers established nationwide in 2001 by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Following the 1999 release of the Institute of Medicine’s landmark report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, the AHRQ rolled out a 5-year, $250-million research agenda to study ways of reducing the incidence of medical errors and accidents. As part of the Congressionally-mandated AHRQ research plan, the Centers are intended to become the infrastructure for sustained research and development in patient safety.
