Karen Curtiss founded Campaign Zero in 2005 and became her way to transform her family’s tragedies into better outcomes for others. She is building a national network of CampaignZERO speakers who offer community workshops. Purpose: to foster collaboration among patients, their advocates, and the health care team. They believe this will result in better quality care and support for medical staff, especially nurses who serve on the front line in every hospital.
3 main goals :
-
Prevent harm and death caused by preventable medical errors
-
Help lower the costs of health care for all, and
-
Help shift attitudes toward problem-solving and away from litigation.

A disconnected understanding of the patient and appropriate care pathway has a devastating impact in both lives and costs. Saving lives and helping to prevent the more than 200,000 preventable patient deaths each year can largely be addressed by connecting the dots between current processes and procedures and proven solutions that are available today. By bringing the medical technologies and IT infrastructure together with relevant information, intelligent and predictive algorithms, and decision support that facilitate the process of care improvements, physicians and patients could be informed of dangerous trends, lives could be saved, and costs could be dramatically reduced. Getting to ZERO will take all of us working together – clinicians, administrators, medical technology companies, payers, government, and patients.
We created the Patient Safety Movement Foundation to aggressively address this problem. The Foundation is breaking down the silos between hospitals, medical technology companies, doctors, engineers and families of patients who have died needlessly. The mission of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation is to do the following:
-
Unify the healthcare ecosystem
-
Identify the challenges that are killing patients to create actionable solutions
-
Ask hospitals to implement Actionable Patient Safety Solutions
-
Promote transparency
-
Ask med-tech companies to share the data their devices generate in order to create a Patient Data Super Highway to help identify at-risk patients
-
Correct misaligned incentives
-
Promote love and patient dignity
