Our non-profit
organization provides attorneys and their medical malpractice
clients and families a forum to share their stories with others,
as well as to hold healthcare providers and corporations accountable.
This initiative is designed to encourage people to step forward
with their concerns and prevent other similar incidents or
deaths from happening. Each state will have their own Advocates
for Patient Safety website. All will be linked and be promoted
by the National Organization for Patient Safety (NAPS) umbrella
site.
Format:
Patients
and their
families are the official sponsors. The families and their
attorneys can decide how active a part the family would have.
In some states, families have asked to be on the contact list
through the site and be able to respond to the inquiries-frequently
referring those contacts to their attorneys. In other cases,
e-mails go to a specific e-mail account within the NAPS domain
and are blind forwarded to the attorney's office. Attorneys,
patients and their families also make contributions to the
website content. If a case is active, we encourage attorneys
to review all material including their clients' input.
Elements
of the Initiave:

Conference to launch the initiative.

and their clients can focus on a city or region.
