✨ World Patient Safety Day is almost here!✨🌍 Diagnosing a patient's health problem involves collaboration between patients and their healthcare teams. This process includes discussions, examinations, testing, and reviewing results before finalizing a diagnosis and treatment plan. Errors at any stage can have serious consequences, potentially leading to delayed treatment, misdiagnosis, or even death. World Patient Safety Day this year focuses on improving diagnosis for patient safety with the slogan "Get it right, make it safe!" In celebration, we’re sharing free resources to help you enhance care and reduce missed and delayed diagnoses: https://hubs.la/Q02PzpC90 #WorldPatientSafetyDay #SafeCareForAll
