Patient safety is everybody’s business. Preventable medical errors occur in 10% of all patient encounters in a variety of healthcare settings, which can be devastating to patients, families, and the healthcare workers providing their care. Most errors originate from faulty systems or processes, and not individuals. Speak Up for SaferCare shares stories from subject matter experts, healthcare workers, patients, and caregivers-and aims to illuminate where things went wrong, so future harm is prevented.
