February 4, 2009 by admin

Responding to the increased risk to patient safety in an economic downturn, the National Patient Safety Foundation has announced that the 2009 NPSF Patient Safety Congress will directly address this issue through an extensive program of educational sessions designed to provide attendees with the new thinking and tools critical to keeping patients safe. This highly acclaimed annual event, to be held May 20-22 at the Gaylord National outside Washington, DC, boasts over 35 individual sessions targeting seven core areas essential to patient safety. In addition, insightful and inspiring plenaries are planned, including a town hall meeting with authors of the pivotal Institute of Medicine report “To Err Is Human” and distinguished members of the Lucian Leape Institute. Intensive full-day pre-Congress programs will also be offered, highlighted by a unique executive-level event providing case studies and discussion focused on successfully building a safety framework, setting safety and quality priorities, and ensuring critical physician engagement. Plus, the NPSF Congress provides direct access to a wide array of innovative solutions providers.
