When you or your loved ones are in the hospital it can be overwhelming and stressful. You may feel unsure about speaking up and asking questions or sharing information with your healthcare team. But research indicates that up to 70% of patient harm events are due to communication breakdowns, and most people don’t realize how much power they have in managing their own care—and how understanding their rights and speaking up can truly make a life-saving difference.

Tune into this episode to learn about:

● understanding your healthcare consumer rights

● taking charge of your own healthcare

● how to help a loved one in the hospital

● staying safe in the healthcare system

● tools to navigate the healthcare system

● how families and patients can speak up when they feel intimidated or reluctant

● the 3 “P”s and “CUSS” words to empower conversations

● stories and examples of healthcare harm that can impact patient safety

● how to choose the best hospital for the safest care

● resources including a free patient safety checklist
