What is the idea behind this initiative?
Communicating information about patient safety is an important responsibility that should not always fall to managers alone. It is often beneficial for staff members to have another colleague fill this role as they may feel more comfortable about sharing information and asking questions. Having a Quality & Patient Safety Champion helps to increase safety awareness among front-line staff and foster a culture of safety.
The Role is to
- Share Quality & Patient Safety Initiatives & Ideas
- Help sustain Quality Improvement in the hospital
- Ask Questions about Quality & Patient Safety
