Patient Safety Education Workshops!
Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That’s more than die from either motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS– three causes that receive far more public attention. Health educators and librarians can learn how to network together to educate health consumers about their role in patient safety by attending one of the four events planned for this spring.
