Patient Safety Awareness week update
Accreditation Connection, March 4, 2011
Patient Safety Awareness Week is coming up and the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) is extending its toolkits, aimed at cultural competency and reducing readmission rates, to all healthcare organizations. In years past, the NPSF–which is the founding sponsor of Patient Safety Awareness Week–has provided the kits only to members of its hospital program.
This year’s campaign is called “Are You In? Commit to Safe Health Care.” More information can be found at the NPSF website.
Patient Safety Awareness Week runs from March 6-12, 2011.
