Patient Safety Awareness Week will be celebrated this year March 7 – 13, 2010. The goal is to provide education and awareness for improving patient safety. The theme this year is “Let’s Talk: Healthy Conversations for Safer Healthcare.” This is a wonderful opportunity to engage and partner with patients, staff, physicians and visitors to foster communication and encourage action around patient safety. For some ideas of how to celebrate Patient Safety Awareness Week, please visit Courtemanche & Associates’ website. For more information about Patient Safety Week in general, go to npsf.org.
