Moving the Needle on Patient Safety

Keeping our patients safe and giving them the highest-quality healthcare is our greatest priority every day. Whether we directly care for patients or not, we all play a role in giving them the best possible outcomes.

Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW) is March 10 – 14 and the ideal time to celebrate our achievements in making healthcare safer for everyone, while also recognizing our ongoing efforts for continuous improvement.

This year’s theme is “Moving the Needle”, which turns the focus on patient safety from awareness to tangible action items. Participate in any or all of the activities happening during PSAW to learn more about the great work that’s happening to keep our patients safe and to do your part in moving the needle!
