Day Kimball Hospital to Celebrate National Patient Safety Awareness Week 2013

Day Kimball Hospital will celebrate National Patient Safety Awareness Week from March 3-9, 2013. This year’s theme, ““Patient Safety 7/365: 7 Days of Recognition, 365 Days of Commitment to Safe Care” is an important part of Day Kimball’s philosophy in providing high-quality healthcare. The goal of this campaign is to recognize the advancements that have been made in the patient safety arena, while acknowledging the challenges that remain and committing to work on them every day. Healthcare providers form a partnership with their patients by encouraging them to participate in their own care. Open communication is a very important part of safety in patient care.

Day Kimball has several activities planned during this celebration week to highlight many of the patient safety initiatives that demonstrate it’s commitment to ensure that staff and patients work together to promote patient safety so all will benefit from a safe healthcare system.
