Patient Safety Awareness

Patient Safety is Everyone's Responsibility

IHA’s Indiana Patient Safety Center annually celebrates Patient Safety Awareness Week to educate the public on hot topics in patient safety and empower Hoosiers to be engaged in their own health care.

2021 Patient Safety Awareness Member Toolkit
The 2021 Patient Safety Awareness Toolkit is divided into four pillars of work:

Lead a Culture of Safety
Increase Patient & Family Engagement
Prevent Patient Harm
Improve Community Health

Patient Safety Awareness Week 2021 is for March 14-20.
