Next week, from March 13 to March 19, 2022, Cooper will celebrate Patient Safety Awareness Week. This annual event encourages health care safety and also serves as an important reminder of Cooper’s journey toward becoming a High Reliability Organization and reaching a goal of zero harm. Every member of the Cooper team plays a vital role in this journey. We are pleased to share that despite the many challenges our providers faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, our team continued to reduce our serious safety events from 75 in 2020 to 45 in 2021.
Throughout Patient Safety Awareness Week, Cooper team members from our safety and regulatory team will host a variety of virtual activities to help staff and providers recognize the impact of preventable harm and what we can do to prevent these events. For a full schedule of events, click here.
