This annual conference will host pre-session workshops, panels, and presentations covering a variety of patient safety topics that align with the national agenda for patient safety improvement such as learning systems and leadership. Sessions will take place in-person.

Leadership commitment is crucial to attaining sustainable improvement in patient safety. This “Declaration to Advance Patient Safety” call-to-action shares three steps to motivate work toward implementing change to enhance safe care. First, commit to a national plan for improvement. Second, identify and empower a senior leader and team to assess an organization’s existent safety status. Third, devise plans to measure, design, implement, and support adverse event reduction initiatives.
