Worldwide Esports Phenomenon and Ambassador Jake Lyon to Host Unite For Safe Care Virtual Event on September 17
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 former professional Overwatch player and
esports ambassador Jake Lyon will host the Foundation’s
Unite For Safe Care Virtual Event. The event will be hosted
online, available globally, September 17th, at 5pm Eastern
Daylight Time.
“Preventable medical harm is the third leading cause of
death in the U.S., but you still wouldn’t know it,” said Jake
Lyon. “That’s because, unlike other sectors such as
aviation, there’s still no culture of transparency across the
healthcare business to take an honest view of the issue.
Now, in a year where health worker and patient safety alike
couldn’t be more important, the Patient Safety Movement
Foundation is calling for unity and action.”
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 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.
