The organizations below make grants to fund patient safety and quality initiatives. This list is not exhaustive.
The University of Michigan Health System has been a national leader in patient safety for years. Below are some links to important patient safety resources from UMHS and the Ann Arbor VA Hospital.
Framework for Measuring Diagnostic Error
A new AHRQ-supported report published in BMJ Quality & Safety describes a conceptual model called the "Safer Dx Framework" that is designed to systematically measure & monitor diagnostic errors. It examines diagnostic safety from three perspectives: variables within the environment in which diagnoses take place (such as the internal physical/organizational medical setting), the process for making diagnoses (such as interpersonal aspects between clinician/patient), & patient outcomes (patient health status or behavior).

SolarCity Is About to Start Manufacturing the Most Efficient Rooftop Solar Panel Ever
Normally,22.04 percent wouldn't exactly inspire awe. What about the other 78 percent? Where is it being wasted? But for solar panels, it's a leap forward. »

Thanks to Obama's Clean Power Plan announced earlier this week, each state in the US has been charged with plotting a way to a cleaner energy future.

In about half an hour, the Solar Impulse solar-powered plane is going to touch down in Hawaii, at the end of a record-setting flight across the Pacific.

Due to the unprecedented drought, many of California's farmers won't be allocated any water this year, thanks to the way that the state's water rights work. But what actually happens to the farms that don't get water? Some of the farmers are ditching produce altogether for a more profitable alternative to… »
So far, specific details are thin on the new battery designed for home use that Tesla's announcing next week. But just based on what we do know, it's a pretty big deal.

Mountain stats
Lift count : 1 x Gondolas 23 x Chairlifts 10 x Drag-lifts
Ride area 5289acres
Vail has the reputation of being one of America's most prestigious (ie snobbish) ski resorts, and in some respects it's true. The town of Vail, a bizarre imitation of a 'typical' Swiss alpine village, is centred around the base of the resort and is hellishly expensive, has heated roads and things like that . However, there are loads of good reasons to visit Vail, which include the large amount of terrain on offer (over 5,000 acres) and Vail's extremely healthy and positive attitude towards snowboarding.
The terrain park has 3 halfpipes and 12 runs, and is also open to skiers although thankfully, it's frequented almost exclusively by snowboarders. One major point regarding Vail, is that it is a very popular resort resulting in some long lift queues throughout the season, however there's such a variety of terrain and so much of it, that you can often find little areas of unridden powder weeks after the last snowfall.
The first few days you will probably find the piste layout rather confusing, and no matter which run you take you'll probably end back at the same place, but stick with it!
In terms of climate and cost, a good time to visit is late season when the snow is soft and the price of lift tickets drop dramatically.
Nightlife is a bit mixed, there's loads of bars aimed at the 30+ crowd but things keep going until the early hours. It's classic cougar terratory though; come 9pm the ladies minus their husbands come down from the mountains to play and snare some innocent young snowboarder!
