This marks the end of our #CanadianPatientSafetyWeek journey. As we conclude this campaign, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you our member organizations who participated, shared insights and took steps toward creating safer healthcare environments. Patient safety is more than a goal - it's an ongoing commitment, and the journey doesn't end here. To continue the conversation, we encourage you to explore our 'Am I Safe?' Conversation Guides, which are helping home care providers across the country facilitate safety discussions. https://lnkd.in/g3PJjn_M Together, let's continue to advocate for patient safety and deliver the highest quality of care for all. #PatientSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst #PatientSafety #HealthcareHarm #RethinkingPatientSafety #CPSW2024 #AmISafe
