Biography

I have a master’s degree in economics and political science. I had some courses in health policy, health economics and quality in healthcare. I was shown the IOM numbers of patients dying in hospitals, and came across the theme of patient safety. I have studied the Danish system through a research trip. Since then I have written several papers on the subject, and became an external advisor on patient safety to the ministry of health. I am progressing with my PhD studies at the Corvinus University.

ONELINER

patient safety

In a myriad of situations, - and in medical care as well - safety and danger are hopelessly intervened. Benefit and harm from medical care have been intervened since the beginning of medicine. The advancement of medicine in the 20^th century has made professionals and public overconfident that medical care is only beneficial – forgetting about the harm. They have been proved wrong, thus making it necessary to deal with the mitigation of harms, and this is patient safety.
