Free Patient Safety Event Opens to All Members
For the first time in the collaborative effort’s history, all 175 members of the association are invited to a Patient Safety First meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 15 at Pacific Palms Resort & Conference Center in Industry Hills.
Patient Safety First is a statewide collaborative co-administered by California’s three regional hospital associations, with 90 hospitals in the HASC region participating.
Patient Safety First hospitals learn strategies from experts and peers to improve quality and decrease medical errors. Headlining this month’s session is J. Bryan Sexton, Ph.D., a nationally-recognized expert in organizational reliability and staff resiliency from Duke University. Event breakout sessions will focus on sepsis management, perinatal safety, surgical safety and HAI prevention.
Attendees who will benefit most are QI directors, nurse executives and physician champions who can earn continuing education credits by attending the event.
Patient Safety First Collaborative organizers hope more facilities will join the program for 2016. The event is free.
“Come and see what we are accomplishing together,” HASC Vice President of Quality and Patient Safety Julia Slininger said. “We are saving lives.”
