Winner of the “I Am Patient Safety” contest for Patient Safety Awareness Week 2017 ©2017 Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority

Jeanes Hospital performs case reviews for each patient death, to improve

patient safety and quality of care. Dr. Karlin performs the lion’s share of

these case reviews. He looks to improve clinical care, foster respect and

communication among providers, provide patient dignity, and enhance family-

member relations. He is frank about opportunities for improvement but does

not place blame.

His efforts, as architect of a new departmental structure and captain of the ship,

have prompted physician and staff education, policy and process revisions, and

practice changes that support better patient outcomes.

Join the Pennsylvania Patient Safety authority in congratulating Dr. Karlin for, as

his associates say, not raising the bar on patient safety, but being the bar that

all at Jeanes Hospital aspire to reach.

Paul Karlin, DO, Medical Director of

Critical Care Unit (CCU) and Division Chief for Pulmonary Medicine
