The 2024 Graduating Class
A Johns Hopkins study reports that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. While healthcare providers are trained in patient safety policy and procedures, the public is not. Yet there is much that individuals — patients and those supporting them — can do to reduce the risk of accidental harm from medical treatment.
Since 1996 Pulse Center for Patient Safety has been the national leader in educating the public in patient safety and patient advocacy skills.

Kristen Miller, DrPH, MSPH, MSL, CPPS. Kristen is the Co-Director of the MedStar Health Center for Diagnostic Systems Safety, Senior Scientific Director of the MedStar Health National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare.
