How Far Has the Seminole County Patient Safety Efforts Reached?
Seminole County has received national attention for our Improving Healthcare Literacy and our Legible Handwriting projects — both part of our county-wide Patient Safety Initiative. But now consider this: Following the 2006 Seminole County Patient Safety Summit, SCMS member John Ryan, MD, took materials from the Summit and the “Patient Safety in Seminole County” magazine, and created a new post on “Patient Safety” in Wikipedia. Over the last two years he has added references and links, but by-and-large the current posting is 99% a result of Dr. Ryan’s labors. We can now boast that the materials and efforts from our Summit have reached an international audience! Click here to check out this superb Wikipedia resource.
