This course will arm you with the knowledge you need to keep yourself and your loved ones safe when engaging with the healthcare system. Health care today is more complex, technical, and volatile than ever. Medical harm (unintentional but often preventable) injures and kills hundreds of thousands of patients each year. In this course, you'll learn how to prevent the most common types of medical harm including medication errors, patient care accidents, procedural and surgical complications, infections, and diagnostic mistakes. Patient safety experts and advocates will provide you with practical tips and insights to navigate the healthcare system confidently and safely. Through presentations, videos, and group discussions, you will come to understand the common sources of error and discover tactics, resources, and cautions to help protect yourself and your loved ones.
