Janice Allen Brassington

Jan was the most caring person I knew. She gave so much to UW and Patient Safety. I enjoyed working with Jan and her dedication to UW. I am so saddened by her loss. She will surely be missed. Amy Marver

Jan was a true pioneer. She was bold and brave but always had a smile and kind words. She was instrumental in helping lead UW Health's safety and quality journey during a very different time than we are in now---today, patient safety and quality of care are core missions, supported by a large infrastructure and an educated workforce, and Jan, with a small group of colleagues and few resources, got us there. Her impact on patient safety is unmeasurable, her efforts then continue to save lives today. She leaves a legacy of safety and quality professionals who, though they maybe never had the honor to know her, carry on the efforts she started. She is and will continue to be missed.

I worked at UWH during the time Jan was in Medical Records and later when she was in Quality / Patient Safety. She was very dedicated and hardworking as well as a lovely person who was a pleasure to be with. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and coworkers. Jan Haedt

I had the pleasure of working with Jan at UW Health. She was always happy and had such a great sense of humor. She brightened the day for everyone she encountered. Jan worked closely with the UW Emergency Department during my tenure at UW and was an excellent Quality Analyst. Sue Sanford-Ring

I worked with Jan at St. Mary’s, my first job out of college, organizing her quality data. She was so kind hearted & a good mentor. My sympathy to your family as her life ends too soon. Julie Adelman
