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

Canadian Patient Safety Week wraps up today! Staff came together to share their patient safety practices in a puzzle masterpiece. Each puzzle piece reflects vital practices— like patient advocacy, effective communication, and procedure adherence—reminding us that every role contributes to a safer environment for all! In the spirit of CMH’s commitment to patient safety, Kellen Baldock, Patient Safety & Quality Lead, was at the 2024 Ottawa Patient Safety Conference to showcase the hospital’s innovative Patient Safety Dashboard that enhances access to safety data. This initiative has the potential to improve engagement, clarity, and decision-making regarding patient safety events, furthering a fair and Just Culture of patient safety. #ourcmh #CPSW2024 #patientsafety Healthcare Excellence Canada 📸 Staircase of puzzles is located in Wing A0 Cafeteria; Kellen stands beside his display at the 2024 Ottawa Patient Safety Conference; close ups of the puzzles and staff messages.
