World Patients Alliance: World Patient Safety Day webinar on diagnosis

Diagnosis is a critical cornerstone of patient safety, impacting treatment decisions and health outcomes across the globe. With diagnostic errors contributing to nearly 16% of preventable harm in health systems, the need for accurate and timely diagnoses has never been more urgent. Inline with World Patient Safety Day 2024’s theme, “Improving Diagnosis for Patient Safety," and under the slogan “Get it right, make it safe!," we are focusing on transforming diagnostic processes to enhance patient safety and care quality.

WPA is excited to announce the WPSD webinar on Diagnosis scheduled on September 18 at 9 AM ET. This event will bring together leading experts, patients and patient advocates to explore innovative strategies, share best practices, and discuss how to foster collaboration among healthcare providers, patients, and families to minimize diagnostic errors.
