From Tears to Transparency: Michael Skolnik Film

In "The Story of Michael Skolnik," the second DVD-based learning program in "The Faces of Medical Error...From Tears to Transparency" series, viewers are compelled to rethink the critical role that shared decision-making and informed consent play in patient safety and transparency. This emotionally engaging program tells the story of Michael Skolnik, an intelligent, compassionate young man who died at age 25 after a three-year ordeal following brain surgery. Michael's parents, Patty and David Skolnik, are joined by industry visionaries who together challenge viewers to consider how fully informed consent, true shared decision-making, and open and honest communication can change outcomes, how it could have changed the outcome for Michael, can change outcomes for countless others, and in the process reduce risk for institutions and the dedicated providers who care so deeply. Whether you are launching a new patient safety program or supplementing an existing initiative, "The Story of Michael Skolnik" will capture attention and add value to your patient safety program.
