Patient Safety Legislation in Senate
Urge Your Senator to Sign On Today!
Estimates produced by the National Foundation for Patient Safety site that
more than 100 million Americans might have been touched by what they
consider a medical mistake, either personally or through a friend or
relative. That number is not only staggering, but may account for as much as
$200 billion in hospital costs each year. S. 544, the Patient Safety and
Quality Improvements Act seeks to change these statistics through
whistleblower-type protections for medical personnel reporting on incidence
of patient safety and quality improvement issues. Urge your Senator to sign
on to this legislation today!
