The goal of this virtual discussion is to explore practical solutions for keeping seniors safe. The ideas are drawn from real life experiences noting how COVID-19 impacted seniors, their loved ones as well as healthcare workers and leaders.
The focus of the discussion is on identifying safety risks together with practical solutions for seniors who live at home, in residences and long-term care facilities.
Join us to explore actions for improving senior safety during and after the pandemic especially around communications, infection prevention and control and medication safety. You will leave the session with at least one practical idea for engaging patients, families, and/or the public in improving patient safety for seniors.
