The advisor program was started ten years ago to provide facilities guidance for navigating the MCARE Act and develop strategies to reduce harm. Formerly referred to as patient safety liaisons (PSLs), the original team of six now consists of eight patient safety advisors and three infection preventionists (IPs). These professionals bring a breadth and depth of knowledge and expertise to the facilities they serve. This expertise translates into a broad range of services available to facilities on a regional basis. (See maps below.)
