TakeCHARGE – 5 Steps to Safer Health Care

The TakeCHARGE Campaign is an ambitious annual public awareness campaign that has significant potential to improve patient safety by encouraging people to become informed and active participants in their health care team by taking 5 Steps to Safer Health Care!

The TakeCHARGE Campaign kicks-off with Patient Safety Awareness Week in March and concludes on International Patient Safety Day in September. Each month from April through August, the campaign focuses on one of the five steps.

The campaign Started in 2020, and TakeCHARGE will continue promoting the 5 Steps to Safer Health Care all year, every year with more educational materials, presentations, and programs.  We hope you will continue to practice the 5 Steps too, and encourage your family friends, neighbors, and business associates to do the same.
