For the first time, the Colloquium will feature an Executive Strategies Track with timely topics of critical interest to CEOs and COOs, plus five other tracks with power-packed presentations addressing culture change, HAIs/HACs, surgical safety, perinatal safety and the continuum of care.

Key learning objectives include:

• Implement executive strategies to align physicians and staff around organizational priorities
• Identify culture change strategies that will Transform Research Into Practice at your facility
• Evaluate the successes of your peer hospitals, improving surgical and perinatal safety
• Review evidence-based practices to prevent HAIs, HACs and readmissions

This year’s Southern California Patient Safety Colloquium gives senior executive teams the chance to put their organization on the fast track to benchmark quality and patient safety. Keynote speaker Dr. James Reinertsen, a nationally known thought leader and consultant to health care executives, will present insights on leadership that transform culture and save lives.

The event’s second keynote speaker, Dr. Chris Goeschel, will offer actionable pearls of wisdom learned from her work with Dr. Peter Pronovost of Johns Hopkins Hospital and from her own organizational experiences.
