The three challenges are:
– Venous thromboembolism
– Mental health
– Pediatric adverse drug events
Joe Kiani, founder and chairman of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation, said, “Like the other 12 challenges we have addressed with our Actionable Patient Safety Solutions, VTE, mental health, and pediatric adverse drug events have processes to prevent human errors from becoming fatal. But, these processes are sometimes made unduly complicated and significantly underused by hospitals in our country and around the world. … We firmly believe that if every hospital in the world adopts these APSS, we will be able to eliminate preventable patient deaths.”
