Placemats

Click here to download the high resolution bilingual (French on one side and English on the other.) placemats.

There are Word versions of the placemats with a text box that allows insertion of text for patient safety champions who wish to use this resource but add their own patient safety tips. Click here for the English version and click here for the French version.

Organizations can print their own quantities. These placemats can be used on patient hospital trays, in hospital cafeterias and in restaurants willing to promote the week in their communities. The placemats could be handed out at displays and visitors to the display asked to write down their questions and comments. These completed placemats could be displayed in busy people traffic areas in healthcare facilities to increase awareness and dialogue around patient safety.

Medication Card

The It’s Safe to Ask Medication Card is for people to record medications. The purpose of the card is to

  • promote patient safety through safe use of medications,
  • encourage people to ask questions about their medications, and
  • help healthcare providers and emergency responders know patients’ current medications

Patient Advocate Form

The Patient Advocate Form is a tool developed by the Institute’s Patient Advisory Committee to help people name a person(s) who can advocate, or speak up, and act on their behalf. The form includes a checklist of tasks a patient may want an advocate to do.
