Foundation launches Global Partnership for Patient Safety Leadership
IRVINE, California, February 18, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–At the annual mid-year event of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation (Patient Safety Movement Foundation), held on January 26, patient safety experts from around the world participated in creating an action plan to eliminate avoidable harm to patients and healthcare professionals. The Global Association for Patient Safety Leadership (Patient Safety Leadership Association) was launched by the Patient Safety Movement Foundation to respond to the need for a specific forum for quality and patient safety managers and patient safety activists. The forum is a global network of executives designed to champion the critical work of these healthcare professionals, supporting their efforts to implement evidence-based solutions and new technologies proven to save patient lives.
The Global Partnership for Patient Safety Leadership is expected to play a key role in developing the Action Plan set out at the mid-year event. Action points of the plan include:
-
Seek the unwavering commitment of hospital boards of directors and senior management to uphold a culture of patient safety in their institutions, while implementing a rigorous review process.
-
Actively involve patients and their families in crucial healthcare decisions, recognizing their valuable views and the critical role they must play in their own care.
-
Urge hospital management to foster a climate that prioritizes the well-being of healthcare employees and ensures a workplace that enhances, supports and stimulates their resilience in the face of challenges.
-
Harness the transformative potential of artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of diagnoses and medical decision-making in response to recent data showing that misdiagnoses are a major contributor to medical errors.
-
Raise the level of safety in the treatment of sick children, especially during hospitalization, while increasing the commitment of parents.

The mid-year event strongly endorsed the creation of the Patient Safety Leadership Association as a much-needed resource to advance this issue on a global scale. The initiative allows its members to discuss sensitive adverse events and seek advice from world-renowned leaders, clinicians and researchers on patient safety issues. The knowledge thus acquired can in turn be shared with the entire medical community through workshops, webinars and symposia to develop transformative healthcare solutions.
“We now have the tools and knowledge to make healthcare safe and, more importantly, we have the will to do so,” said Dr. Michael Ramsay, executive director of the Health Safety Movement Foundation. Patient.

ACERCA DE LA PATIENT SAFETY MOVEMENT FOUNDATION
In 2012, Joe Kiani created the Patient Safety Movement Foundation (PSMF), a nonprofit organization whose goal is to eliminate preventable medical errors in hospitals. His team worked with patient safety experts around the world to develop Actionable Evidence-Based Practices (AEBPs) that address key challenges. Hospitals can access AEBP for free on the Internet. Hospitals are invited to formally commit to achieving ZERO preventable deaths, and health technology companies are asked to sign the Open Data Pledge and share their data so it can be used to develop predictive algorithms capable of identifying errors before they become fatal. The Global Summit on Science, Technology and Patient Safety, organized every year by the foundation, brings together all stakeholders, including patients, healthcare professionals, medical technology companies, public administrations and private payers. The PSMF was created with support from the Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation, and Competition in Healthcare. For more information, visit psmf.org.
