Patient Safety 101
Patient Safety 101 Agenda
This session is designed to provide front line, middle management, and top leadership staff who are “new” to patient safety with a solid overview of the background and foundations of the field, introductions to various approaches and techniques for detecting and reducing adverse events, and exposure to nationally-recognized patient safety organizations and resources. This will be done through presentations, discussion, simulation, and storytelling.
Community Engagement from the Patient and Family Perspective
Community Engagement Agenda
This unique program has been developed to provide perspective and ideas in support of engaging communities in patient safety work. Patient and family representatives will serve as faculty, providing a perspective from this important stakeholder group. For community members who attend, the day will provide information they need to return home and be better able to work with their communities’ health care systems, as members of hospital committees, volunteers in health care organizations and advocates for better partnerships. For health care providers, this unique day will provide an opportunity to learn directly from patient and family representatives who will teach sections of the course using the techniques they have found useful in their communities, as well as other faculty who will share community-based initiatives that have successfully created positive engagement and improved partnering opportunities in order to improve patient safety.
