We are looking for more teammates to co-author with us.

We currently have two team members and are seeking 2–3 more teammates to complete the group.

We are prioritizing a project aimed at enhancing patient safety through patient-centered communication training. This initiative seeks to improve how our clinicians and staff communicate with patients, empower patients to participate in their care, and reduce safety risks in a high-volume setting.

Note: To protect privacy and maintain a broad audience, we’re sharing a general overview of the project goals and context rather than technical details of specific tests or interventions.

Why this matters
Effective communication is foundational to patient safety.
In busy care environments, clear, validated communication helps ensure patients understand their diagnoses, treatments, and self-management steps.
The project will leverage evidence-based strategies to strengthen interactions between patients and care teams.

What to expect
Regular updates on milestones and outcomes (in general terms).
Opportunities to engage with the project, provide feedback, and learn about patient-centered communication concepts, and publish the paper with you as co-authors.
A timeline and enrollment details for team members when available.

How to express interest
If you’re a staff member interested in joining our team, please send a message to ANGE PORTO or comment below. We aim to on-board new members soon to help us advance this important work.

Thank you for your essential role in protecting patients in the OR—your expertise and vigilance make all the difference.

We’re especially inspired by your creative advocacy, lighting the halls in orange to symbolize commitment to safety (during the WPSD). It’s a brilliant way to highlight our shared responsibility.

Your dedication shines bright!

With appreciation,

Dear R2TMC Staff,

The Patient Safety Unit is thrilled to announce three innovative research ideas aimed at advancing patient safety in our hospital. We’re looking for passionate colleagues to join us as co-authors and contribute to these important projects!

Here are the proposed topics:

1 Assessing Longitudinal Changes in Hospital Patient Safety Culture: A Comparative Analysis of Surveys Conducted Three Years Apart
◦ Explore how our patient safety culture has evolved over time through in-depth survey comparisons.

2 Enhancing Patient Safety through Provider Engagement Evaluation and Training at Region II Trauma and Medical Center
◦ Focus on evaluating and improving provider engagement to boost overall safety protocols.

3 Medication Safety Improvement in Inpatient Wards at Region II Trauma and Medical Center
◦ Investigate strategies to enhance medication safety practices in our inpatient settings.

If any of these spark your interest, we’d love to hear from you! Approach the Patient Safety Unit directly to discuss collaboration opportunities. Together, we can make a real impact on patient care.

Let’s innovate for safer healthcare!
