This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Patient Safety Movement Foundation reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Fundraising Capacity
Revenue
Grants Received
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
Although COVID-19 impacts health worker safety and thereby patient safety we struggled to get funding because our work wasn't focused on supporting COVID-19 response or direct services. We provided education for healthcare administrators, front line staff, students but we weren't able to gather as much funding as we hoped to help support our goals. We also had to cancel our World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit 3 days before the event (March 5-7, 2020) out of an abundance of caution since we had many international travelers and high-profile speakers and attendees. Because the governor hadn't made an announcement regarding gathering indoors we did not get our money back from the vendors and therefore lost a large amount of money which we couldn't recoup in other ways.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
It allowed us to stay grounded and focus on how COVID-19 would impact the programs we had been running. We did a lot of pivoting but at the end of the day we believe COVID-19 really was a black light that showed all the defects in healthcare and allowed us an opportunity to reposition ourselves for the better.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
See above but we did a lot of international travel so we were able to shift our programs virtually, our communications with our partners to video, etc.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
Our virtual coaching for hospitals and healthcare organizations will likely stay for the long term. This is a great option to keep costs down for the Foundation and for the hospitals and healthcare organizations who request our services.
