“Get it right, make it safe!”   This is the theme for World Patient Safety Day 2024, which highlights the critical importance of diagnostic accuracy.   At some point, each and every one of us has been, or will be, a patient – making this a universal issue that affects us all.   I am extremely proud to be part of a community that continually innovates to enhance diagnostic accuracy and safeguard patient safety every step of the way.   But patient safety isn’t just reserved to professionals and providers… Everyone can play an active role in their own health journey.   The World Health Organization encourages us to be proactive by doing the following:   → Share symptoms and medical history during checkups → Not to be shy to ask questions → Keep track of appointments and treatment plans → Follow up on test results → Seek a second opinion if necessary   What tips would you share to help ensure patient safety around the globe?   #WorldPatientSafetyDay #WPSD  #PatientSafety
