Follow on Google News | First 'Patients for Patient Safety Taiwan (PFPS TW)' Kick-Off Ceremony Held in Taichung, TaiwanDr. Ming-I Chan Liao, Founder of the Taiwan Patient Safety Culture Club and Board Chairman of Taichung City Jen-Ai Foundation, has been promoting patient safety initiatives for more than 10 years in Taiwan. Still, it is the first time that the "Patients for Patient Safety Taiwan" Conference has been held to encourage patients' participation in patient safety practices. In addition, Dr. Chan Liao has organized other meaningful patient safety campaigns, public forums, training courses, and other events in the past, such as the "Walk for Patient Safety" and "Movie Screening of 'To Err Is Human' Documentary" Following the World Health Assembly resolution, World Patient Safety Day has been celebrated annually on September 17, across all countries since 2019. The theme of this year's World Patient Safety is "Engaging Patients for Patient Safety" and the slogan "Elevate the voice of patients!" recognizes the crucial role of patients, families, and caregivers in patient safety. Clear evidence has shown that when patients are treated as partners in their medical care, significant improvements are made in patient safety, patient satisfaction and patient health outcomes. In response to this theme, the Taiwan Patient Safety Culture Club established the "Taiwan Patient Participation Patient Safety Initiative Alliance" to gather different groups of stakeholders from all walks of life to promote patient safety with practical applications. Dr. Chan Liao says, "World Patient Safety Day can not only raise global awareness of patient safety, but also promote the development of patient safety culture, promoting the cooperation between different stakeholders to reduce medical accidents, ultimately improving medical quality. After the "Taiwan Patient Participation Patient Safety Initiative Alliance" is officially launched, we hope that patients will pay special attention to patient safety, improve higher standards, reduce the incidence of medical accidents, and raise medical satisfaction.
