A recent report has revealed that age, language, and education are factors that increase the risk of harm in Canadian hospitals. The study found that older patients, those who do not speak English or French, and individuals with lower levels of education were more likely to experience adverse events during their hospital stays. The findings highlight the need for improved communication and cultural competency among healthcare providers to better serve diverse populations.
