Miscommunications are a leading cause of serious medical errors in hospitals, contributing to
more than 60% of sentinel events, the most serious adverse events reported to the Joint
Commission. Efforts to improve patient safety in hospitals have centered on improving
communication between providers. While provider-focused communication interventions have led
to reductions in patient harm, patients and families have been notably absent from most
interventions to improve patient safety. This proposal seeks to develop a family safety
reporting intervention.
