Sneak Peek: Keynote Presentations<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessie Singer, author of: <\/strong>\u201c<\/strong>There Are No Accidents<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d
\n<\/strong><\/span>Going beyond the traditional system approaches, Jessie brings a fresh and expanded perspective to harm reduction outside of the usual healthcare approach we\u2019re used to hearing about. You\u2019ll view safety systems not only as tangible mechanisms, but as social systems.\u00a0 Jessie is a journalist whose writing appears in The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Nation, Bloomberg News, BuzzFeed, New York magazine, The Guardian, and elsewhere.
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nAnne Roberts and panel of advocates: “Lessons Learned from \u201cDr. Death”.
\n<\/strong>We invite you to hear the story of the now infamous case of Christopher Duntsch, aka \u201cDr. Death\u201d, firsthand, from the physicians that petitioned the Texas Medical Board to revoke Dr. Duntsch\u2019s license, and the attorneys that they partnered with to prosecute him in criminal court resulting in his current life sentence in prison. This case highlighted significant failures in the healthcare system that contributed to the death and\/or permanent injury of 33\/38 patients that he operated on.
\n<\/span>
\nMichelle Schreiber, MD, Deputy Director, Center for Clinical Standards and Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services: The\u00a0 2022 CMS Quality Strategy, CMS Levers of Safety. <\/strong>Dr. Schreiber will discuss the CMS National Quality Strategy that focuses on a person-centric approach from birth to death as individuals journey across the continuum of care. While past CMS strategies attained important achievements, in many cases they have not been sustained or been inclusive of underserved communities. On April 12, 2022, the agency launched the CMS National Quality Strategy, an ambitious long-term initiative that aims to promote the highest quality outcomes and safest care for all individuals.
\n<\/span>
\nCarole L.Hemmelgarn: “Who killed patient safety<\/a>?” <\/strong>Carole, Martin Hatlie, Susan Sheridan and Beth Daley Ullem wrote the provocative opinion piece \u201cWho killed patient safety?<\/em>\u201d i<\/em>n the May 5th<\/sup> edition of the Journal of Patient Safety and Risk Management. If you haven\u2019t read it, do. While the World Health Organization and its member states are ramping up efforts, it appears to us that patient safety is adrift in the United States. The organizations who used to oversee, lead, and support safety have moved on to other priorities. Safety is no longer a critical part of their strategies, oversight, and programmatic funding. It is time those organizations and others do a deeper pause on their work to contemplate if they are leading in safety or they are complicit in the decline of safety in the U.S.\u00a0 She will discuss why patient safety has fallen off the national agenda and identify how patients\u2019 advocates can be the catalyst to revitalizing patient safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are nine breakout sessions<\/strong> with regional, national and international experts, thought leaders and your colleagues sharing tools and experiences on such topics as: restorative approaches after healthcare harm, tools to improve diagnosis, responding to culture of safety surveys, alternatives to traditional informed consent, burnout and wellness, shared decision making, impact of technology, \u201cpatient ergonomics\u201d, wait WHAT??? Attend and find out.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
