Are you looking to take a more active role in your medical encounters and protect yourself from common errors? Join our course, “Protecting Yourself as a Patient.” Medical harm—unintentional but often preventable—injures and kills hundreds of thousands of patients each year. Health care today is more complex, technical, and volatile than ever. In this course, you’ll learn how to prevent the five most common types of medical harm—medication errors, patient care accidents, procedural and surgical complications, infections, and diagnostic mistakes. Patient safety experts and advocates will provide you with practical tips and insights to navigate the healthcare system confidently and safely. Through presentations, group discussions and videos, you'll understand the common sources of error and what tactics, resources, and cautions will help you protect yourself and your loved ones.
