As I mentioned in my post of March 8, We all Responsible for Patient Safety. To raise awareness, March 14th-20th is designated as Patient Safety Week. The goal is to educate and empower people to know what they can do to stay safe when they, thier families and friends enter the healthcare system.

I hope you will take some time and share information with your patients and their families about patient safety this week in your organization. To help you, here are some resources that you can use. Each has important information that can really improve patient safety.

Campaign Zero: Families for Patient Safety.: an easy to navigate website that provides stories, checklists, and other resources families can use to help them keep their loved ones safe when they enter any of the entry points of the broad healthcare system.

TakeCharge: 5 Steps to Safer Healthcare: The TakeCHARGE Campaign’s approach is unique: to directly reach the general public before they become patients, teaching them to TakeCHARGE of their health care decisions. This is not about health, but health care, the journey to better health. Research shows that when patients are engaged in their health care, there can be measurable improvements in safety and results.
