Student Organization
-
Doctor-Nurse Alliance (DNA)Throughout Johns Hopkins' interprofessional initiatives, there is a strong student voice and presence. Students from the Schools of Nursing, Public Health and Medicine are taught the importance of interdisciplinary teams in relation to patient safety and are included at the table during curriculum development as advisors. The group was developed in recognition of the Daniels Initiative's success. They provide health outreach services to the Latino community in East Baltimore in conjunction with the Hispanic Apolstolate, Provision, and Baltimore Medical Systems. Projects include screening for Tuberculosis (TB), prenatal charlas, and teaching English as a second language classes.
Research
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
The Armstrong Institute's goal is to eliminate preventable harm to patients and to achieve the best patient outcomes at the lowest cost possible. In addition, the Institute aspires and to share its knowledge of preventable care worldwide. Created with a $10 million gift from C. Michael Armstrong, former chairman of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Board of Trustees, the institute also provides an infrastructure that, for the first time, oversees, coordinates and supports patient safety and quality efforts across Johns Hopkins' integrated health care system.
