Most people start focusing on patient safety because they want to reduce errors or achieve better outcomes. I started focusing on patient safety because it became my passion and mission, after a hospital-acquired infection almost took my son's life, and required a 100-day hospital stay. it is why I’m still doing it today, and will continue to advocate for patients until my last breath. Follow me for current patient safety events. #PatientSafety #HealthQuality #HealthcareConsulting #patient safety, #Healthcare, #quality, #clinicalriskmanagement
