The CT Center for Patient Safety is a forceful voice for the health care consumer. Our health care system is not really a system; rather the "system" is a collection of industries that have bottom lines and whose profits can be at the expense of the patient. Patient Safety is about the systems that must be put in place to assure quality of care for everyone.
We believe quality healthcare is a right. Patient Safety Campaigns; including hospital infections, medical errors, pharmaceutical reporting, and malpractice reform. The Connecticut Center for Patient Safety is uniquely positioned to represent the voice of the patient. Lisa Freeman, our Executive Director, and other experienced presenters are available to conduct workshops and for speaking engagements to address all audiences.
