Editor's quote
Professor Philip F. Stahel
Philip F. Stahel is the director of Orthopaedic Surgery at Denver Health Medical Center, and Professor of Orthopaedics and Neurosurgery at the University of Colorado, School of Medicine.
"This is an exciting time to be involved in promoting a global culture of patient safety among all healthcare providers, particularly for the next generation of physicians and surgeons. Current patient safety protocols continue to fall short of protecting our patients from suffering unintended harm. Our journal provides a forum for reporting, discussing, and designing new patient safety standards for the future."
