title: Teaching patients to protect themselves during care transitions: a patient safety campaign.
abstract: Patient safety can be compromised at any time, but a disproportionate number of problems occur when patients are transitioning between care settings and care providers. Therefore, those trying to improve patient safety need to focus particular attention on times of transition. This article describes a public education campaign to change patients' behaviors during those periods.
