12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. (ET)
Join this webinar, hosted by Heathcare Excellence Canada, in honour of Canadian Patient Safety Week. The goals of this virtual discussion are to build an understanding of the importance of Essential Care Partners and to consider the lessons learned through this pandemic where the negative impacts as a result of their absence has been clear. We will discuss how care partners help prevent harm, why it’s a safety concern to prohibit them from being physically present as partners in care, and how we can safely reintegrate them – now and into the future. Details of the webinar will be announced on patientsafetyweek.ca and emailed to CPSW registrants.
