Cardinal Health E3 Grant Programme awarded grants from $10,000 to $42,000 to 39 health care providers in 20 US states.
Cardinal Health Foundation chair Shelley Bird said that the E3 Grant Programme had been used by hundreds of healthcare organisations over the past three years to implement meaningful, long-term improvements in the effectiveness, efficiency and excellence of the care they provide.
Some of the organisations which have received funding include Columbus Regional Hospital, Memorial Health University Medical Center, Northern Michigan Regional Health System, Texas Center for Quality and Patient Safety and the University of Colorado Hospital.
This is the second consecutive year that the grants have been awarded.
