History
In 2016, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation announced the emergence of regional networks across the country and the world. This initial group of localized network leaders, called Regional Network Chairs, aided the Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s outreach efforts by facilitating connections to more hospitals, healthcare technology companies, partners, and patient advocates than ever before!
In 2020, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation is working to expand its current group of volunteers through the emergence of Patient Safety Movement Ambassadors, both geographically and on a more local level.
What is an Ambassador?
An ambassador is a Patient Safety Movement Foundation volunteer appointed for a special assignment; bringing together key stakeholders in healthcare to help us achieve ZERO preventable patient deaths. Ambassadors are connectors, facilitators and key champions around a specific patient safety challenge.
You Can Help!
Are you passionate about patient safety and want to help us make a difference? We invite YOU to become an Ambassador to help us raise awareness around our mission of achieving ZERO preventable deaths . We need all types of people, across the world to help be an Ambassador to bring other people and organizations into the fold, connecting the dots. If you are interested in the opportunity to serve or if you’d like to partner up with an ambassador with the same focus or passion, please contact us. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s objective is to expand and reach Ambassadors across the world, therefore your participation is fundamental.
Has your local hospital joined the Movement? Are your local associations plugged in? Do you know someone who has lost a loved one due to preventable causes in a hospital setting? Find a comprehensive list of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s Ambassadors below.
