LTR Weekly Digest #5 - 23rd September, 2023
Catch up on this week's articles: world patient safety day challenge, medical device news update, post-market surveillance and a quick tip.
Dear colleagues, hello! 👋
This week, we focused on the theme of patient safety to mark the 2023 World Patient Safety Day, observed on September 17th. The World Health Organization (WHO) this year is encouraging us to help elevate the voice of patients so we can truly understand their perspectives on patient safety.
Want to help in this effort? Take the 2023 world patient safety day challenge for a chance to win a complimentary annual subscription (a $150 value) to the Let’s Talk Risk! newsletter. Note that the challenge closes on September 26th, 2023.
All of us have a strong desire to be patient-focused, yet we find ourselves stuck in a system that focuses mainly on compliance. This is one reason risk management proves to be a challenging exercise in practice. What if we made patient safety an explicit business goal? Would it inspire us to do things differently?
