And talking to family caregivers is a great way to improve patient safety! Typically they know the person well, their medical and social history, and often their preferences. Alberta Continuing Care Association Healthcare Excellence Canada

This week is Canadian Patient Safety Week and this year's theme is 'what comes to mind when you think about healthcare harm?' Read about an initiative on the Women and Children's unit at South Shore Regional Hospital that aligns to this theme. “It started with creating a basic understanding that everyone contributes to patient safety in all forms—including psychological, spiritual and cultural,” said Michelle Wile, health services manager of Women and Children’s Midwifery and Ambulatory care at South Shore Regional Hospital (SSRH).

What makes you feel safe? I loved seeing how answers to this question at last week's Atlantic Learning Exchange leaned into how we can proactively create environments that enable safer care. And participants were walking the talk. It was also great to learn more about the many ways that they are improving care - better pain management during gynaecological procedures, streamlining stroke care, advancing cultural safety, and much more.
