Patient Safety Monitor Alert

September 5, 2007

Patients and family members who have experienced medical error are more likely than ever to demand changes in how hospitals conduct business, according to a Chicago Tribune article.

The article focuses on several patients, including medical professionals, who experienced error and have since worked with hospitals and public interest groups to increase patient safety. The groups include Save the Patient, Pulse America, Consumers Advancing Patient Safety, Medically Induced Trauma Support Services, and Mothers Against Medical Errors.
