Michael Wong, JD is a recognized healthcare and patient safety expert. He has been at the forefront in driving practical solutions that reduce healthcare costs, decrease medical errors, and improve patient health outcomes. He has been particularly active in these areas that most affect patient safety:
• Improving patient adherence (i.e. helping patients to take their medications as prescribed by their physicians)
• Enhancing patient access to healthcare
• Reducing medical errors
Wong is the driving force behind the Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety (PPAHS), an advocacy group of physicians, patient advocates, and healthcare organizations.

In recognition of his efforts to improve patient safety, Wong is a founding member of the American Board of Patient Safety, a recently created board to certify and recertify physicians in patient safety through the American Board of Physician Specialties, one of the United States’s main recognized physician multispecialty certifying bodies.

A graduate of Johns Hopkins University and a former practicing attorney, Wong is on the editorial board of the Journal of Patient Compliance (JPC), the only peer reviewed journal devoted to helping patient’s take their medication as physician recommended.

Published in London, England, JPC looks into the ideal way in which patient compliance could be enhanced.
