The following films from Transparent Learning are the first in a series of educational stories that feature patient safety advocates including Helen Haskell, Rosemary Gibson and Dr. Lucian Leape. Helen Haskell tells “The Story of Lewis Blackman” to share what she has learned in the years since her son’s preventable death with both patients and healthcare providers.
The videos address many critical health care issues including:
1) Prevention of medical errors
2) Disclosure
3) Levels of providers
4) Night and weekend care
5) How providers and institutions respond when our care has caused harm
6) The important role patients and families can take in their care
The cases highlighted in the educational series were chosen because they illustrate events that are still too common and because they provide significant learning opportunities for improving the system. By giving a voice to these patients and their families, Transparent Learning seeks to ensure that others do not suffer similar outcomes.
The educational series will teach consumers how they can take a more active role in their care. It is important that patients and families are aware they can become true partners in their treatment, and can provide critical input caregivers may miss.
