ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
\n<\/b>Welcome to our 20th conference! The theme is \u201cBringing Patient Safety To Life: What\u2019s worked, what hasn\u2019t, and what to do about it.\u201d The conference is focused on solutions to problems rather than the problems themselves. We could talk about how to chase adverse events better, instead we\u2019ll discuss the National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety. We could lament about healthcare mergers & acquisitions, but we\u2019d prefer to present ways to sustain safety programs when leadership changes (no, it doesn\u2019t involve your CV). We could ignore climate change, but you\u2019ll hear about a tool designed to help health professionals connect with patients and colleagues to respond to the health risks of climate change (no, it doesn\u2019t involve wearing a mask).<\/p>\n

Keynote Presentations\"\"<\/p>\n

Umair A. Shah, MD, Secretary of Health, Washington State: Opening Keynote<\/strong><\/p>\n

Secretary Shah will deliver the opening keynote. Appointed by Governor Jay Inslee in December 2020. He was responsible for the state\u2019s COVID-19 response and vaccination efforts. He is the first Asian-American physician of South Asian descent to serve in this leadership role in the history of Washington. He is a strong advocate for patients and equity stemming from his experience as an emergency department physician at the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston for well over twenty years.<\/p>\n

Karthik Sivashanker, MD: \u201cOperationalizing Racial Justice and Equity in Health Care\u201d.<\/strong> Dr. Sivashanker is the Vice President of Equitable Health Systems in the Center for Health Equity at the American Medical Association. He will discuss a new framework for advancing racial justice and equity in the health care arena by leveraging high-performance quality and safety practices to systematically make inequities visible and to address and resolve them as an integral part of health care practice.<\/p>\n

Tejal Gandhi, MD: \u201cEmerging from COVID: Re-Energizing our Approach to Achieving Zero Harm<\/span>\u201d. <\/strong>This won\u2019t be a Covid commiseration conference, although I do miss the lack of car traffic. You probably know Dr. Gandi as the former President and CEO of the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) or Chief Clinical and Safety Officer at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Now, as Chief Safety and Transformation Officer at Press Ganey, she is responsible for advancing the Zero Harm movement and developing innovative health care transformation strategies. Dr. Gandi will present the \u201cbright spots\u201d, innovations and lessons learned while we were up to our elbows in alligators.<\/p>\n

Patricia McGaffigan: \u201cStrengthening our Resilience – Implementation of Safer Together: A National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety\u201d.<\/strong> Patricia is President, Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety, and Vice President at IHI where she is IHI\u2019s senior sponsor for the National Steering Committee for Patient Safety. Patricia will present on the National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety<\/a>. Despite substantial effort over the past 20 years, preventable harm in health care remains a major concern in the United States. The Plan includes 17 recommendations to advance patient safety and offers actionable solutions for a clear path forward to recover from setbacks that occurred during the pandemic and to advance and sustain the positive gains based on lessons learned over two decades of systems safety improvement work.<\/p>\n

Saul Weingart, MD: \u201cFinding the Patient in Patient Safety\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Weingart is Professor of Medicine at Brown University’s Warren Alpert School of Medicine. He served as President of Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital, CMO and SVP of Medical Affairs at Tufts Medical Center and VP for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Enthusiasm for patient and family engagement makes a number of assumptions about the opportunities and limitations of patient and family engagement that warrant closer review This session will draw on 20 years of empirical research, industry best practice, and participants\u2019 experience to better understand the current state of knowledge and practice and to identify promising strategies to engage patients and families in making healthcare safer.<\/p>\n

In addition to the keynotes there are nine incredible breakout sessions<\/strong> with regional, national and international experts, thought leaders and your colleagues. Here are some of the topics. You\u2019re encouraged to visit the presentation tab<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n
