What is Patient Safety?
What does “patient safety” mean?
The University Health Network Open Lab team is working closely with the safety team at Healthcare Excellence Canada on their Defining Safety project. The goal of this project is to understand perspectives on the definition and future of patient safety from patients, caregivers, professionals, and leaders across Canada.
As a means of obtaining insights and ideas from Canadians, a ‘thought exchange’ about patient safety has been created. This exchange is a completely anonymous platform that provides space for participants to describe what they think the salient features are that should be included in a definition of patient safety.

“I still got it.”
Well, my friends, I hate to say it, but I went and got COVID-19. I had both shots if the Moderna vaccine, I continue to wear my mask everywhere I go, I wash my hands frequently and use hand sanitizer, and I still got it. Take care out there, folks.
