48 2014 - Patient Safety Principles and Practices

Instructor: Dev Raheja
Description:
At least 300 medical errors a day happen in large hospitals. Nearly half the patients can experience a medical error during a 3-4 days stay. It is a crisis in quality care. There has been no progress for the last 10 years. Insurance companies are beginning to outsource medical care overseas because the cost is only one tenth. The Joint Commission is exerting pressure on hospital to improve.
Medicine arose out of the primal sympathy of man with man; out of the desire to help those in sorrow, need, and sickness. With over 200,000 deaths from medical mistakes and 2,000,000 infections per year, we are very from this “first do no harm” oath in patient care. "Despite some successes, I think it's safe to say the patient-safety movement also has been a great failure,” said Lucian Leape, the father of the patient safety movement.
Why Should you Attend:
The knowledge of the science of patient safety is not available easily. The government and insurance companies are paying more to good performing hospitals. Information on how hospitals are performing is freely available to public. Bad hospital reputation can be very costly for hospitals. With this webinar your hospital can become the best performer.
