It’s Patient Safety Awareness Week: March 11-17, 2018

CDC is Committed to Making Health Care Safer for Everyone

Patient Safety Awareness Week gives us a specific time to talk about a topic that is a priority every day – patient safety. At CDC, we are committed to keeping patients safe wherever and whenever they receive care.

Join Us!

CDC will participate in the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s patient safety Twitter chat this Friday 3/16 at noon ET. Use #PSAW18 to join the conversation!

• What’s the chat about? Share questions, challenges, and strategies to advance a safety culture in health care.
• How do I participate?  Follow @CDC_NCEZID & @TheIHI to see our conversation. Be sure to use #PSAW18 when tweeting.
