Wondering how to ensure safe and effective treatment when hospitalized? Concerned about dying peacefully in a peaceful setting? Bart Windrum's books and presentations help patient-families—and medical providers—solve vexing problems when in vulnerable situations that virtually everyone encounters.
Hospitalization results in injury, chronic illness, and death for hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. Plus situational and existential harm. Risk of “adverse outcomes,” as these inadvertent results are called, is real, everywhere, and very mundane: everyday events cause many of the problems. Providers also suffer the effects. What can we do about it?
Hospitals in the United States advise us to bring someone to advocate on our own behalf, or to advocate on our loved one’s behalf. They don’t tell us why (too scary), nor how (too involved). Bart will tell you.
Axiom Action’s Hospital Patient Advocate is dedicated to, and focused on, helping patient-family members understand why we're at unanticipated risk. Bart's how-to publications and presentations tell why you must and how you can help yourself and your hospitalized loved ones. Bart's insights help providers experience their world from the patient-family's perspective.
