Whitley Patient Advocates Commitment to Action
What is patient safety?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), patient safety is the absence of preventable harm to a patient in healthcare or the reduction of the risk of harm https://www.who.int/patientsafety/en/
How do we Support Patient Safety?
At Whitley Patient Advocates we understand how important the concept of “patient safety” is in addition to assisting clients navigate their healthcare journey. Ensuring that patient safety is a priority is very important in any healthcare setting as well as home environment.
We have three top environments that we focus on regarding patient safety:
1. Healthcare settings
2. Transitions of care between healthcare organizations
3. The home environment
