At UPMC, we're committed to fighting the risk of preventable harm to those in our care. We take a proactive approach across our health system. This focuses on safer treatments and care settings.
Our programs and initiatives keep you and your loved ones safe at UPMC clinics. These include:
- A 3-phase pre-care safety checklist in each UPMC operating room. This includes outpatient surgical centers.
- Medicine safety measures to help ensure you get the right drugs in the right dose and form, and at the right time.
- Standardized infection control measures to help stop the spread of infections people may get in the hospital.
