Partners,

Please join Families USA on Tuesday, April 2, at 1:00 pm ET for First Do No Harm: Addressing the Patient Safety Crisis.

Medical errors account for 251,000 deaths a year in the U.S., an error rate higher than in other countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and the UK. Also, The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and the Healthcare-Associated Infections Workgroup cited more than 680,000 infections related to hospital acquired infections annually.

This webinar will explore how the creation of a National Patient Safety Board would be a first step in addressing the patient safety crisis, allowing for data aggregation and analysis, identification of patterns and causes of harm, and creation and dissemination of autonomous solutions that can improve the quality of our care.

You can register to attend here.

Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions.
