Participate in an international survey on patient safety

The World Health Organization (WHO) is calling for health care professionals and patient advocates from around the world to participate in an online survey on nine solutions relative to patient safety:

"The proposed Patient Safety Solutions address the issues of look-alike, sound-alike medications; correct patient identification; hand-over communications; wrong site, wrong patient surgery; use of concentrated electrolyte solutions; medication reconciliation; catheter and tubing misconnections; needle reuse and injection safety; and hand hygiene. The electronic Patient Safety Solution survey will be available online until February 16, 2007, at www.jcipatientsafety.org/survey."
