As we kick off 15 years of giving, it is fitting that on this day, 12 years ago, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation officially launched the Betty Irene Moore Nursing Initiative. The initiative was born out of the vision of Betty herself, stemming from her experience with preventable harm during a hospital stay. Betty saw an opportunity to make improvements in the quality and safety of patient care, focusing on the critical role of nurses – 95 percent of hospital care is delivered by RNs. Read more about the approaches and successes of the initiative here and in this infographic.
