Advocate for Patient Safety TODAY!

March 24th is Patient ID Day, a day of digital advocacy. Please send letters through AHIMA.org and use your social media presence to ask Congress to support a national strategy around patient identification and to repeal Section 510 in the Labor-HHS appropriations bill. To sign up for advocacy emails and receive information, click here.

If you have a Facebook account, you can start using the “I Support Patient ID Day” frame for your profile picture.
