World Patient Safety Day: Learning from Healthcare Leaders Around the World

2 min read

World Patient Safety Day is a moment to pause, reflect and recognize what patient safety means in practice. It is a reminder that healthcare still has work to do to reduce preventable harm, and it is also an opportunity to celebrate the caregivers, clinicians and healthcare teams who deliver care every day.

In this RLDatix-led webinar, Dan Michelson is joined by RLDatix Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Darren Kilroy, and Chief Patient Safety & Risk Officer, Dr. Tim McDonald, for a global conversation on the realities of patient safety across healthcare systems. Together, they discuss why progress depends on being willing to talk openly about difficult issues, learn from mistakes, recognize the improvements already being made and support the people working closest to care.

The discussion brings together clinical, operational and personal perspectives from leaders who have spent their careers focused on safer care. Rather than treating patient safety as a single-day observance, the webinar explores how World Patient Safety Day can help renew focus on the ongoing work required to protect patients and support care teams.

Watch the full webinar to hear more about how we’re working together as a community to help raise the standard of care everywhere.
