ICPS is a non-profit, public/private partnership of health care organization, educators, medical groups and health insurance companies. It is comprised of chief executive, medical and nursing officers from Community Health Network, Clarian Health, Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center, St. Francis Health Services, Inc., St. Vincent Health and Wishard Health Services. In addition, there is participation by entities such as Eli Lilly and Company, Indiana University, Purdue University, Regenstrief Institute, Inc., and WellPoint, Inc.

The ICPS was formed, in part, as a response to a report issued in 1999 by the Institute of Medicine. In that report, "To Err is Human", it was estimated that 44,000 to 98,000 patients die every year as a result of health care error. This report lays out a comprehensive strategy by which government, health care providers, industry, and consumers can reduce preventable medical errors.

The ICPS has responded with specific actions and solutions that are being implemented in the Indianapolis area. To learn more, click here.
