All tracks will focus on what specific RESULTS can be shown by each of these groups in their efforts to improve the safety of patients. Roundtable breakfast discussions and a private breakfast for "CEOs Only" will add to this year's congress education.
This conference builds on the success of the first four NPSF Annenberg conferences on patient safety. These conferences were seminal events in the genesis of the study of patient safety, and marked the beginning of the widespread recognition that health care error must be recognized and reduced.
