Advance the health of individuals and populations by discovering innovative strategies for patient safety and quality improvement.

Patients are still being harmed from errors that arise in the healthcare system. Additionally, there is evidence that all patients are not receiving "best practices" in their care. This panel will address these issues using an expert international faculty. Attendees will learn about the latest advances in patient safety including national priorities, challenges in safety and quality, definitions of quality, and major achievements to date.

Choose from two dates that best fits your schedule: virtually on October 8, 1-4 p.m. PT or in San Diego on October 10, 1:15-2:15 p.m. PT. More information on the ISQ panels can be found here.
