Mission: Our Vision: Achieve ZERO preventable patient harm and death across the globe by 2030.Our Mission: Urgently unify people and collectively improve patient safety across the globe.
Results: In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the globe. It impacted our work in a few ways. Collaboration: Some of the amazing organizations we worked closely with in 2020 were the International Society for Quality in Healthcare, The Leapfrog Group, Jewish Healthcare Foundation, National Association for Healthcare Quality – we partnered on events to help increase our impact, together. We can’t do this work alone, it takes collaboration by all organizations. We believe in the 1 + 1 = 3 concept – we can achieve more together. Postponement of World Summit: Our 8th Annual World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit was scheduled for March 5-7,2020 and the event was postponed on March 2nd out of an abundance of caution since we were expecting major global attendance and high-profile speakers that we could not risk being exposed to the virus. We were one of the first organizations to cancel an event and we were applauded for our doing the right thing and not worrying about the loss of income because patient safety is our #1 priority, always. Opportunity Sprouted by the Pandemic: The inability for our clinical team to travel provided a unique opportunity for them to hunker down and strategically strengthen the clinical products and services that were announced in September of 2020.If COVID-19 had not come about it would not have given the clinical team the opportunity to release these new products and services as quickly as they did. Impact on the Planned “March for Patient Safety” Event: The PSMF staff and volunteers planned to announce the 2nd annual World Patient Safety Day event called “March for Patient Safety” that was due to gather thousands in Washington D. C. on September 17,2020.Due to the postponement of the Summit this announcement was postponed which caused the team to pivot. Yet again the team was forced to pivot after the Black Lives Matter campaign revealed the risks of organizing large marches in the current climate, particularly in the United States and in our Capitol. In September 2020 we launched a new commitment-based model encouraging the 4,793 hospitals and healthcare organizations across the world to commit to ZERO. This new commitment encourages them to go back to the basics, committing to establishing a safe and reliable healthcare. We’re excited to see where this will lead us on our goal to ZERO preventable harm and death across the world by 2030.The Actionable Patient Safety Solutions (APSS) also have expanded from the evidence-based summaries to now APSS Blueprints, APSS Education and APSS Coaching thanks to the growth of our clinical department. Our Strategic Plan is made publicly available for anyone who might want to view it. http://www. patient. sm/annual-report
Target demographics: All patients receive safe and reliable care, no matter where they seek care.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 112,619 people are committed to ZERO preventable harm and death
Geographic areas served: the US and globally
Programs: The PSMF is increasing its outreach and education among providers and consumers of healthcare. This includes:1.Education: We provide in-person, virtual and digital education locally, nationally and internationally. We educate all stakeholders - patients, families, and the public as well as leaders in healthcare who are looking to improve patient safety and people who work in the healthcare industry who support the delivery of safe and reliable care. We also educate the public through PatientAider® a mobile application built to cut through the medical jargon to help the public and their loved ones navigate through their care as a hospitalized patients, exposing them to common errors and ways to mitigate risk, speak up and advocate for themselves and their loved ones. 2.Events: We host events to raise awareness about medical errors, the third leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer and a leading cause of death globally. We also host educational events (webinars and workshops) aimed at educating anyone and everyone who touches the healthcare system. 3.Internships, Student Practicums and Fellowships: We offer opportunities to educate and build the skills of our future leaders through three types of educational opportunities. 4.Patient and Health Worker Videos: We have captured dozens of stories from patients, health workers and leaders of health systems to inspire change and humanize the cause. The people affected by preventable medical harm are more than just statistics.
