people are estimated to die annually from preventable medical errors; it’s the
3rd leading cause of death in the United States.
Why?
Caregivers have the best intentions, of course. So what stands in the way of receiving and giving safe care?
Like
many, I was unaware of the preventable medical death toll until my beloved
husband suddenly left this world in 2012. This is one of the last pictures
taken of us.
Yogiraj
was recovering from brain surgery after a fall. But, rather than return home, he
left this world unexpectedly due to an undetected PE (pulmonary
embolism). PE is the #1
preventable medical death in the U.S.A.
Your funding could help a loved one have a better outcome. Professionals, patients and families want to create safe care in hospitals. But research points to issues that challenge their aspirations. In addition to major technological advancements underway, patient safety advocates call for transparency, communication, collaboration, and staff rejuvenation. These are excellent suggestions. Yet, knowing WHAT to do is only part of any solution. Knowing HOW is essential and not knowing how is a major obstacle impeding progress.
Yogiraj was acclaimed for illustrating how people relate, collaborate and care. His 40yr-consulting firm 10th Dot® presents dozens of workshops on relationship and collaboration. This CARE slide from our workshop ‘We’ Can Relate outlines areas where this workshop demonstrates HOW to enjoy better contact, act with affinity, reciprocate and encourage.
At the
time of his passing, Yogiraj was writing a book that is a timely contribution
to patient safety advocates. This FundDreamer campaign will help me publish
this first posthumous book, ‘We’ Can
Relate; A Guide for Caregivers. Yogiraj’s death story, 10th Dot’s approach
and my unlocked journal using 10th Dot’s tools during the shock and grief, will
demonstrate how caregivers can realize their aspirations to give safe care. It
will guide professionals, patients, and families - those who receive and give
care - toward collaboration, communication, relationship across values, and
rejuvenation.
We Can
Relate; A Guide for Caregivers models how to improve patient
safety by reaching the real nature of those providing care. People and the
systems they create rarely intend harm. But frequent harm happens when we are
not paying attention to what truly matters. This book and interactive website
is the first in a series demonstrating how to connect the core of care with
SAFE CARE.
Just months away from finishing the book, it’s time to start engaging partners. You are invited to help fund this inaugural book in the series. Doing so covers these costs.
Publishing the book and ebook $ 6,000
Building the interactive website $ 8,000
Marketing the book and interactive website $ 4,000
Basics Goal $18,000
Stretch Goal to boost the team effort $24,000
Thanks for your time and consideration. I look forward to connecting.
Gratefully, Vonda (Vv)
