The Current Landscape of Patient Safety: Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going will be packed with information and dynamic discussions from expert presenters.

​

Since the 1999 release of the Institute of Medicine’s report, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, safe medical care has been spotlighted as a priority in the nation’s healthcare systems. Even before that, Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education & Advocacy worked to improve patient outcomes.

​

We do this by:

• Encouraging people to be better prepared as patients and advocates

• Understanding how medical errors happen and help avoid them

• Understanding how patient and family engagement can help prevent unplanned outcomes of care.

​

​

​

Join us as we explore the potential of the patient safety movement in the years to come and how to navigate the future in our roles as patients and advocates.
