Mar 10, 2017 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

Follow and join the conversation with #unitedforpatientsafety, #psaw17chat and #PSAW2017.

The United in Patient Safety campaign culminates each year with Patient Safety Awareness Week, designed to mark a dedicated time and a platform to increase awareness about patient safety among health professionals and the public. An initiative of the National Patient Safety Foundation (@theNPSF), this year Patient Safety Awareness Week is March 12-18, 2017. So that you can easily take part in PSAW, this week’s Friday Five rounds up some resources and events regarding patient safety.

Complimentary Webcast – The Voice of the Patient and the Public
On March 15th at 2 PM EDT, the NPSF presents a free webcast offering peer-to-peer collaboration in an online learning environment, including live Q&A with expert faculty, and turn-key solutions and take aways. Held in conjunction with Patient Safety Awareness Week, this webcast will look at the advancing role of the patient and the public in patient safety. We will explore past efforts that brought forth transparency to patient safety issues, examine where we are today, and discuss how we can shape the future together.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (@AHRQNews), which has sponsored hundreds of patient safety research and implementation projects, offers 10 evidence-based tips to prevent adverse events from occurring in a hospital.
