Medical Errors Caused 9.5% of All U.S. Deaths in 2022. Pulse CPSEA Offers Help

WANTAGH, N.Y. - Feb. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- According to a recent report from Forbes.com, medical errors caused 9.5% of all U.S. deaths in 2022.¹ In fact, says the report, "Care providers [were found to] make avoidable errors in between 3% and 15% of all medical interventions."

That's bad. But according to Ilene Corina, BCPA, President of Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education & Advocacy, "Something can be done to reduce potential harm to patients. There are many things individuals as well as professional patient advocates can do to reduce the risks."

On March 14-15 caregivers, patients, and professional or would-be professional patient advocates will gather in Plainview, NY for Pulse's Family-Centered Patient Advocacy course: two days of intensive training in patient advocacy, with a special emphasis on patient safety. The course is designed and taught by national leaders in the patient safety movement.

Board-Certified Patient Advocates may earn CE credits for maintaining accreditation by attending.

A few places are still open for the event. The cost is modest, and the Long Island location is close to New York City and major airports.
