Plug is pulled on premiere patient safety website

The Saferhealthcare website, a joint venture between BMJ Publishing, the National Patient Safety Agency, and the US Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), is to “shortly go offline.” No reason has been given as to precisely why the parties involved have taken the decision to pull the plug on what appeared to be an informative and generally helpful site. Healthcare Governance Review notes, however, that the site does not appear to have been being properly maintained since October 2007.
