The Patient in Patient Safety: Clinicians’ Experiences Engaging Patients as Partners in Safety

Abstract

Patients and families play a role in the safety of care provided across clinical settings, highlighting the need to understand clinician perspectives and experiences related to their engagement. Through a panel discussion entitled, The Patient in Patient Safety: Clinicians’ Experiences Engaging Patients as Partners in Safety, we elicited clinician perspectives that have implications for human factors relevance in both, research and solution development/evaluation. We provide an overview of the panel including participants, format and content, and the resulting discussion.
