ABOUT PATIENT SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK

Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW) is a national education and awareness-building campaign for improving patient safety at the local level. Hospitals and healthcare organizations across the country are encouraged to plan events to promote patient safety within their own organizations. Educational activities are centered on incorporating patients and families as active participants on their healthcare teams, as well as assisting organizations to build partnerships within their communities.
