#PatientSafety incidents rank third behind cancer & heart disease with just under 28,000 deaths across Canada. This is equivalent to such events occurring in Canada every 1 minute & 18 seconds, & a resulting death every 13 minutes & 14 seconds. #WorldPatientSafetyDay @TheIHI
It is everyone's role to speak up for #patiensafety. It is time for us to be bold to #ConquerSilence. It is a silent epidemic. 1 out of 18 hospital visits in Canada results in preventable harm. #WorldPatientSafetyDay @ptsafety_sandi

Lots of nurses and healthcare workers don't speak up. It is a normal human behaviour. Learn together, change the culture, and reward people for coming forward with their medical errors and mistakes. @ToErrIsHumanDoc #ToErrIsHuman #WorldPatientSafetyDay #PatientSafety
We all need to speak up for #patientsafety. Together we can #ConquerSilence in our healthcare system. Your voice matters and can help save lives. #WorldPatientSafetyDay @WHO

When individuals are reluctant to change, is it a lack of knowledge, skills, insufficient opportunity, or is it their underlying motivation? Understanding the barriers opens the door to the right facilitators! #SHIFTtalks bit.ly/2X6iaGT
