Teamwork is key!
Doctors and nurses work hard for safe care, but it’s no secret they’re stretched and stressed. Health care is complicated!
Inevitably, cracks in care occur which accidentally harm millions of patients and cause more than 400,000 deaths every year.
Solution? Use our handy checklists to pitch in for patients!
If I'd had Care Partner checklists, dad would be alive today.
