Test Your Patient Safety IQ
As part of Patient Safety Awareness Week, March 7-13, The Joint Commission is providing a Patient Safety IQ Quiz for the public. The quiz is a fun way that patients can test their knowledge about how to prevent infection, what they need to know about their medicines, how to talk to their doctor, and other important safety tips. Organizations can provide the link to the Quiz on their Web site; the direct link is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Patient_IQ_Quiz. Everyone who takes the quiz will be entered in a drawing to win one of 20 of The Joint Commission’s patient safety books, "You: The Smart Patient" or the new "The Smart Parent’s Guide." The quiz contains 11 questions and will be available through March 13. (Contact: Cathy Barry-Ipema, cipema@jointcommission.org)
