This opportunity has come about because PHSA has a responsibility to disclose patient safety events to patients and families. The purpose of disclosure is to improve the quality of care a patient receives, ensure the patient is fully informed, and build mutual trust and respect with the patient and their family. Disclosing patient safety events serves to enhance patient safety by reinforcing the values important to a culture of safety: honesty, respect and transparency. PHSA values feedback from patients and families and encourages them to share their perspective on the patient safety event and disclosure process. Engaging patients and families via a survey regarding disclosure policies and procedures is one way of understanding and honouring patients and families’ experiences and including their voices.Health Care Partner Contact Information
