General Tips

This is simply a “catch-all” list that is really just the beginning. No doubt, we will learn a lot as we grow the campaign for patient safety together, so please check back often as we update this page with suggestions from the campaignZERO community.

• What’s the Harm in Health Care?

  One-third of all hospital patients are harmed or killed by accident every year in American hospitals -- about 13 million patients.

  
  Preventable hospital accidents claim almost 300,000 lives -- equal to 3 jets crashing every single day of the year in America, with no survivors.

  
  Most of these deaths and injury are among older patients, and most result from a strained health care system seriously short on nurses and other critical resources.
  

• Our Solution

  CampaignZERO offers simple explanations about how common hospital hazards occur and easy checklists to help families safeguard their loved ones' care in the hospital.

• Why Checklists for Families?

  Every patient needs a family member or friend with them in the hospital -- yet few of us are prepared for this important role.

  
  Our simple little checklists can be a big help.
