Patient Safety Awareness Week Is Here
March 5, 2024
March 9 – 15 designated as a week to focus on safety
Now in its 23rd year, the annual Patient Safety Awareness Week is a time to highlight efforts to improve safety for patients and healthcare workers.
ISMIE's risk management program prioritizes patient safety. If you haven’t yet, be sure to visit ISMIE's Patient Safety Center, a one-stop resource designed for policyholders to help reduce risk and support quality care.
The Center categorizes interventions into approximate levels of effort to be addressed: basic, mid-tier and large-scale, which includes everything from hand-hygiene to preventing mistakes in surgery to workplace violence prevention. While specific strategies used to safeguard patient safety will vary at each practice or facility, the tactics provided will help you consider the best approach for reducing risk.
Share the ISMIE Patient Safety Center with your colleagues and staff! It’s publicly available.
If you have questions or want more information, please contact the Risk Management Division by email.
