Description
Healthcare Operations, FKP Solution Management, Dallas, TX
Patient safety is one of the hottest topics in healthcare today. Every organization and provider understands no single action alone improves the whole safety initiative, but that a culture of safety will reduce the risks for errors that patients and staff experience in today's health environments. This session enables attendees to:
•Identify key components of a safety design matrix that offers initiatives to be used in the design process.
•Evaluate the application of the identifiable issues and learn which need to be measured in order to report results.
•State how specific safety issues are being addressed in an urban hospital setting and their impact on patient safety, operating costs and savings.
