CHCA on the Issues - Am I Safe?

Am I Safe? 

Supporting conversations about patient safety in the home

As the setting of care shifts from acute care to the home, the acuity and complexity of patients receiving care in the home has increased. The element of risk and potential for adverse events increases as more complex care is provided in an unpredictable and / or inconsistent home setting.

Safety conversations must take place often and involve many health care providers across various settings of care.
