World Patient Safety Day – 17 September 2024
Improving diagnosis for patient safety: Get it right, make it safe!
Join us in commemorating World Patient Safety Day opens in new tab/window as we focus on the critical importance of accurate and timely diagnosis in ensuring patient safety and improving health outcomes. Explore videos, whitepapers, and reports from our Clinical Best Practice Council on the importance of evidence-based clinical knowledge and technology as enablers of patient safety.
Recent years have presented healthcare professionals worldwide with unprecedented challenges. Overburdened and fatigued, healthcare professionals have struggled to stay aligned with rapidly evolving clinical information, exposing a critical gap between knowledge and practice. This gap, coupled with the existing burden of unsafe care, underscores the urgent need for improved diagnostic processes and patient safety measures.
Elsevier's Clinical Best Practice Council (CBPC) is committed to fostering collaboration between patients, health workers, policymakers, and healthcare leaders to enhance patient safety.

World Patient Safety Day and the journey towards ‘Zero Harm’
Perspectives on Zero Harm in the Middle East
Elsevier and Joint Commission International have teamed up once again to accelerate the path to Zero Harm, this time focusing on the Middle East.
We launched this new initiative in 2023 by carrying out a survey about the Zero Harm objective throughout the Middle East. The aim of this survey was to promote a variety of discussions and resources that help healthcare professionals evaluate and make changes to continue improving patient safety and quality of care.
Our engagement team is working with organizations around the world to bring patient safety and zero harm workshops for clinicians, please reach out here to learn more.
