Patients for Patient Safety Canada, apatient-led program of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute, is hostingthe webinar, How safe is the care we receive?, on April 25, 2019, at noon EST.
How much do Canadians know about patient safety and patientharm? How many people have experienced harm from healthcare? Is patient safetya priority? Should it be? Studies show that, as soon as individuals know thescale of the patient safety crisis, they will want to know more about it.
Interested parties can join this interactive session tolearn the answers to these questions and gain a better understanding of the real-lifeexperiences that patients and physicians are faced with in regards to patientharm in the system, which is supposed to keep patients safe. Attendees can learnabout resources to help keep patients safer and empower themselves to engage insafer healthcare.
The Canadian Patient Safety Institute learned that:
- 1 in 3 Canadians stated that they either personally experienced a patient safety incident or have a loved one who did.
- Misdiagnosis, falls, infections and mistakes during treatment are the most common types of patient safety incidents.
- Patient safety affects all of us.
The institute’s goal is to have attendees leave the sessionwith at least one practical idea for engaging in improving patient safety.
Speakers include Allison Kooijman, co-chair, Patients forPatient Safety Canada; John Maxted, MD, MBA, associate professor, University ofToronto; Christopher Thrall, communications officer, Canadian Patient SafetyInstitute; Angie Hamson ,Patients for Patient Safety Canada; and Moderator:Theresa Malloy-Miller, Patients for Patient Safety Canada.
