About the Ambassador Program

About the Program

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.

We need all types of people across the world to become Ambassadors to bring other people and organizations into the fold, connecting the dots.

Resources for Success

Ambassadors gain access to a comprehensive digital toolkit that includes presentation templates, training videos, marketing tools and other important information that will help them be successful. They are encouraged to reach out to each other for peer support.

Time Commitment

Ambassadors are expected to spend a minimum of 10-15 hours per month on Patient Safety Movement-related outreach efforts to maintain a volunteer Ambassador.

Perks of Becoming an Ambassador

Ambassadors receive a discounted registration to the annual World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit during tenure as an Ambassador based on their performance.
