Patient Safety Awareness Week: March 10–16, 2024 Patient Safety Awareness Week, an annual recognition event that occurs in March, is intended to encourage everyone to learn more about health care safety. #PatientSafetyAwarenessWeekhttps://lnkd.in/eF6nfnXq Why a Focus on Safety? The World Health Organization estimates that 134 million adverse events occur each year due to unsafe care in hospitals in low- and middle-income countries, resulting in some 2.6 million deaths. Additionally, some 40 percent of patients experience harm in ambulatory and primary care settings with an estimated 80 percent of these harms being preventable, according to WHO. #PatientSafetyAwarennesWeekhttps://lnkd.in/eF6nfnXq Some studies suggest that as many as 250,000 to 400,000 deaths occur in the United States each year as a result of errors or preventable harm. Not every case of harm results in death, yet they can cause long-term impact on the patient's physical health, emotional health, financial well-being, or family relationships. https://lnkd.in/eF6nfnXq https://lnkd.in/eusdD_4Z
