Patient Safety Awareness Week 2012 In Review

We heard from a lot of people who had creative and educational ways to mark Patient Safety Awareness Week 2012. Here at NPSF we hosted a twitter chat on the topic of patient engagement. Read about it and view the transcript.

We wanted to share links to some of the events that took place across the country:

Playing for Patient Safety
The Leavenworth High School Jazz Band was invited to play at the Munson Army Health Center, Leavenworth, Kan., in honor of Patient Safety Awareness Week.

Focus On: Patient Safety Awareness Week
WGRZ-channel 2 in Western New York state featured an on-air discussion about patient safety awareness.

Strategies for Nurse Managers
This website for nurse managers was full of ideas for marking the week.

HCA Today Blog
Hospital Corporation of America had a number of blog posts during Patient Safety Awareness Week that related to our theme, Be Aware for Safe Care.

Every dot on the map below represents an organization or individual who did something to mark the week. Let us know what you did. Write to us.
