Healthcare providers and leaders need the most up-to-date information available so they can continue to provide high quality, safe care.
Patient Safety Notifications, including Patient Safety Alerts and Safer Practice Notices are developed and issued by AHS to inform healthcare providers about identified patient safety hazards and necessary actions to mitigate the risks.
There are a number of ways to address hazards to patient safety. If AHS staff and medical staff become aware of a patient safety hazard they believe should be considered for a Safer Practice Notice, Patient Safety Alert, or Patient Safety Memo, please contact your zone or provincial patient safety representative as appropriate to complete the intake process.
