Patient voices in hospital safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patients can provide a unique perspective on safety concerns but may hesitate to speak up. This study was conducted with 19 recently discharged patients or their family members to understand safety or quality concerns they experienced during their stay and whether they voiced the concern to their care team. The paper presents types of concerns and, if parents did not have concerns, what made them feel safe, as well as barriers and facilitators to speaking up.
