Rockford Spine Center is promoting awareness of patient safety during the national awareness week March 8-14, 2015. The National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) leads the effort each year. The theme for 2015 is “United in Safety.”

The NPSF has identified some of the most common patient safety issues including diagnostic errors, health care-acquired infections, falls, medication errors and readmissions. The organization is showing how patients and health care providers can unite to increase safety.

RSC recognizes the importance of engaging patients and working together to ensure safe outcomes. RSC is focused on three specific areas in regards to patient safety: correct diagnosis, lowering infection and enhanced communication.

The NPSF has a website dedicated to Patient Safety Awareness Week. Patients and health care consumers can visit the site to learn ways they can increase safety.
