Why THRIV?

THRIV IS A HEALTHCARE SAFETY COALITION seeking to protect patients from being harmed and caregivers from unwittingly doing harm as the result of IV preparation errors. We champion the use of proven technologies that ensure IVs are made accurately—preventing injury, saving lives, and improving quality of care.

We are motivated by each patient, nurse, pharmacist, technician, and anyone else involved in preparing, approving, hanging, or receiving IVs—each of whom wants and deserves just what the doctor ordered.
