New SAFE CARE Program to Provide Patient Education at Bedside

The Joint Commission will release a patient safety education program in celebration of Patient Safety Awareness Week, which will take place March 4-10.

The 2012 SAFE CARE Patient Safety Education Program is a free offering developed to assist healthcare organizations in educating patients to help prevent medical errors. The campaign features videos from The Joint Commission's Speak Up campaign, the CDC, Kimberly-Clark, the Patient Channel from The Wellness Network and Safe Care Campaign.

 



The nine short videos address the most common patient safety issues in hospitals such as hand hygiene, infections, medication errors, patient falls and more. Organizations are also able to customize the videos for a nominal fee.
