Channel: Patient Safety Movement
Date: 2019-01-23

Karen Curtiss, a family member who was denied answers after her father's preventable death, speaks at the annual Summit. She articulates her thoughts around checklists not only for the clinicians, but for the family members, and she argues that there is no one more invested in patient care than the family members. Her emphasis on collaboration between the clinician and the family will allow for greater communication and proper intervention in the patient's care. She commits to zero with her The Care Partner Project's Commitment to Families for Patient Safety.
