Patient safety is paramount in healthcare, and its importance cannot be overstated when it comes to preventing sentinel incidents like retained foreign objects, wrong patient, and wrong site surgeries. By implementing and adhering to robust safety protocols, fostering a culture of accountability, ensuring clear communication among surgical teams, and prioritizing verification processes, we can significantly reduce the occurrence of these life-altering errors. Every step, from pre-operative verification to post-operative checks, should be meticulously followed to safeguard our patients. When every member of the healthcare team is committed and continue to prioritize patient safety, we create a safer environment that minimizes risks and improves outcomes. Let’s make patient safety our top priority to protect those who entrust us with their health and prevent these preventable errors. #PatientSafety #HealthcareQuality #SentinelEvents

Patients can play a role in avoiding wrong site sugeries. Ask to be part of the time out, be alert when the site is marked. Patients need to know what CAN go wrong to help avoid it from happening.

What did Janet have to say about our services? A - It allowed me to feel like I could do something proactive to improve my recovery. The CBT sessions gave me useful tools for when I was feeling overwhelmed. My prehabilitation specialist went above and beyond in researching and suggesting additional online resources pre and post surgery which she thought I might find useful. I recovered from the initial surgery very quickly and I now have the tools to build myself up again for the next round of treatment. Ready to take charge of your recovery like Janet did? 💪 #Prehab #Recovery #QuestPrehab
