Improving
Patient Safety in Hospitals: Turning Ideas into Action
The U-M Health System, supported by an educational grant from the
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation, is hosting this
comprehensive look at patient safety in the hospital setting.
The conference
will feature UMHS and guest faculty presenters, panel discussions
and opportunities for audience questions. Course objectives include
"implementation of practical changes that improve safety and
reduce adverse events for hospitalized patients," methods for
transforming root-cause analyses into gains in quality and patient
safety," and "hands-on examples of changes that have improved
quality and safety in hospitals in Michigan.
There is no
charge for the conference, which is designed for clinician leaders
(physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals)
and administrators (CEOs, COOs, QI department leaders, risk managers,
etc.) who are responsible for patient safety. Participating hospitals
may also wish to utilize the live video-conference component.
At the time of the conference, it will be available from a link
on this Web page. In the meantime, the link
will connect participants to commercial streaming video that will
allow them to verify compatability, picture quality and test their
equipment.
