The patient advocacy community is a diverse and vibrant network of individuals and independent organizations working toward the improvement of quality and safety in healthcare. There are many ways to approach the problems of our healthcare system, and it is worth noting that opinions within the patient advocacy community can and do vary broadly and intensely. The following list of patient-safety-related websites is presented solely as a resource for patients and friends of patients.
