Give Patient Safety a Voice!
As many as 440,000 people in the US will die this year due to preventable medical errors or poor patient safety practices. Despite the efforts of many healthcare professionals, that appalling rate keeps rising, year after year. PULSE of NY is one of the leading nonprofit organizations working to reverse that trend and keep patients safe. PULSE began when its founder and president, Ilene Corina, lost her son due to medical error.
Corina has told her tragic story often, but to keep making patients safer, other stories, from patients and their families, must be heard. PULSE wants to produce a short video giving a voice to people who have witnessed a breakdown in medical care or suffered negative outcomes from their treatment. They will tell their stories, and show how patients can be kept safer using the skills and training that PULSE provides.
The video is intended have its premiere at PULSE’s Spring Symposium on April 20, 2015. This event will bring together community members and healthcare professionals from all over Long Island, NY to explore the latest ways of changing the ‘culture’ of healthcare so that patients are better protected.
Later, the video will be available online and will be used in training and at other public events. It will be a durable resource to show just what can go wrong, and how it can be fixed.
But we need money to make it happen! Please give generously to support this vital effort that will let us all breathe easier when illness or injury strike. All contributors of $100 or more will be acknowledged in the video’s credits.
