March 8 - 14, 2026

FSHRMPS is proud to support the Patient Safety Awareness Week.  During this week our society will celebrate our profession with programming designed to show our appreciation for the work that risk management and patient safety professionals do to ensure a safe and trusted healthcare system.

Patient Safety Awareness Week is an annual recognition event intended to encourage everyone to learn more about healthcare safety. During this week, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) seeks to advance important discussions locally and globally and inspire action to improve the safety of the healthcare system for patients and the workforce.
