What might it look like for a scientist to work in science policy on Capitol Hill? That's the question Sheeva Azma seeks to answer in this journalistic vlog.
Sheeva filmed and edited this vlog about her trip to Washington, DC to advocate for patient safety for the 2024 World Patient Safety Day Summit, which she helped plan. Sheeva was on the planning committee of the event as part of Patients for Patient Safety US, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing patient harm in healthcare settings. This year's theme was diagnostic safety, given that most medical malpractice claims stem from missed or delayed medical diagnoses. Making healthcare safer saves money and helps people live better lives -- a central message in the World Patient Safety Day activities.
The vlog is not focused on the event itself but Sheeva's reflections leading up to visits to lawmakers about patient safety, as well as general aspects of working (and playing) on Capitol Hill. "Work hard, play hard," as they say at MIT, Sheeva's alma mater.
Sheeva helped plan the World Patient Safety Day Summit since March 2024, and worked both on public relations and communication aspects as well as setting up meetings with lawmakers.
While Congressional action on patient safety is a long game, patients can be heartened by crucial healthcare policy actions the federal executive branch recently announced. Check out the White House's actions on patient safety, announced for World Patient Safety Day 2024 and a direct result of Sheeva's work with PFPS US, here: www.whitehouse...
