Patient Safety Movement Foundation Hosts Global Virtual
Event On World Patient Safety Day To Mandate Patient
Safety Innovation During Pandemic
Today, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation
announced that President Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of
the United States, will be the closing keynote speaker at
the Foundation’s Unite For Safe Care Virtual Event. The
event will be hosted online, available globally, September
17th at 5pm Eastern Daylight Time.
Unite For Safe Care is a three-hour virtual event connecting
patients, health workers, policymakers, celebrities, and
global citizens uniting together to learn how patient and
health worker safety can be advanced. This event will
include memorials and tributes to honor loved ones who
are no longer with us due to medical harm and a
celebration of the patients who have survived medical
harm. The program will recognize the frontline workers
who are committed to make health care safe.
In June, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation
announced the wide-ranging campaign to bring attention to
system-wide improvements that will ensure better health
worker and patient safety outcomes, called
#uniteforsafecare. The event will also be joined by the
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), The Leapfrog
Group, and International Society for Quality in Health Care
(ISQua) in co-convening the slate of programming.
