In celebration of Patient Safety Awareness Week, "Let's Talk: Healthy Conversations for Safer Healthcare," ASHRM and the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) will share lessons learned from partnering with patients to reduce medical errors and improve safety outcomes. Patient Safety Awareness Week, March 7-13, 2010 commemorates the role of the patients in safety and their relationship with healthcare providers.
This program will explore Patient Advisory Councils, how disclosure can impact performance improvement activities and system redesign, and how healthcare risk management, patient safety and quality professionals can collaborate to involve patients in safety.
