Safer Healthcare Now is a patient safety campaign aimed at reducing preventable complications and deaths in Canadian hospitals.

The goal of the campaign is to improve the safety of patient care through learning, sharing and implementing interventions that are known to reduce avoidable adverse events.

Data is collected and is submitted to a central measurement team that allows us to compare ourselves locally and nationally.

Two of the interventions we are enrolled in are Improved Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and Prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSI).

We made changes to various components of care for these patients and have been able to attain and maintain safe evidence based care for these patients.

AMGH was recognized as the first organization in Canada to consistently submit high quality data for the AMI campaign.
