Ready-To-Use Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW) Toolkit
Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW) is an annual, NPSF-led education and awareness campaign for health care safety. Each year, health care organizations internationally take part in the event by prominently displaying the NPSF campaign logo and promotional materials within their organizations and deploying NPSF educational resources to hospital staff. NPSF is the founding sponsor of Patient Safety Awareness Week and has led the event since 2002. Stand Up members receive a complimentary toolkit complete with resources and information to help celebrate the week at their respective organizations. Toolkits include themed materials, customizable content, educational resources, and patient engagement tools designed to spread the message of patient safety.

Members are encouraged to reproduce the Stand Up for Patient Safety logo on organizational brochures, press releases, websites, and marketing material. In addition, members have access to media tools and communications templates designed for ease of use and spreading your commitment to patient safety within your community.
Membership Recognition Plaque
Members receive a recognition plaque upon enrollment and for each year of membership in the program. Participating organizations are encouraged to display this plaque in a community area to demonstrate the organization’s commitment to patient safety through membership in the Stand Up program.
AHRQ Survey on Patient Safety Culture (SOPS) Data Comparisons and Benchmarking
