PULSE of New York
Giving the Patient and Family a Voice!
PULSE of NY leads the nation in grassroots patient safety education and encourages culture changes to enable patient participation to reduce unplanned outcomes costing the economy as much as $29 billion a year.Since 1997 PULSE of NY has been working with patients and families who have experienced a medical injury. Through PULSE support groups, community outreach and education, patients and their family members share experiences and for the first time have a place to talk about the outcomes that changed their lives forever.
Whether you have recently been diagnosed with a life changing medical condition, or are about to become a patient in today’s health care system, or are a medical professional in need of medical treatment, or want to help a friend or family member as they go through the health care system, we can help you take steps to help ensure safe, quality care.
Family Centered Patient Advocacy Training Is your surgeon using the Safe Surgery Checklist?
Hospitals can now order their Checklist Board Here! Make sure your hospital uses it! Has someone you know just been diagnosed with a life changing illness or scheduled for surgery or a medical procedure? Is someone you care about ill or elderly and you just want to "help?" Now you can! Individually or in a group - help is available! Host a workshop for your community group and help your friends become patient advocates for you and for others. Family Centered Patient Advocacy Training is a workshop for anyone who will be assisting or accompanying a friend or family member to the doctor or hospital.

If you feel you have experienced a medical error or adverse event and want your experience to be heard so others may learn from your experience, you have also come to the right place.
Our priority at PULSE is the patient and your needs. Let us help you make informed choices.
