Four Safety Strategies: A Symposium on Implementation

拟议中的会议是一个为期一天的关于病人安全策略的研讨会，定于2003年5月28日星期三在约翰霍普金斯医院举行。 自2000年医学研究所发布报告《人皆有错：建立更安全的卫生系统》以来，提高护理质量已成为卫生系统领导人的高度优先事项。 关于如何最好地将已知的患者安全问题转化为可持续和可持续的实践，仍然存在许多问题。 全国各地的医院和卫生系统领导人都表示需要实用工具，提供简化和具体的方法来确定和实施系统改进。 初步名单上的200多家医院和卫生系统已询问个人协助建立一个执行病人安全计划。 拟议的为期一天的专题讨论会将讨论这些组织的需要。 通过介绍四个不同的案例，分发经过测试的有价值的实用工具，以及会后对与会者的后续调查，研讨会将鼓励和指导卫生系统领导人迈出更安全系统的第一步。

The proposed conference is a one-day symposium on patient safety strategies, scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, 2003, at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Since the release in 2000 of the Institute of Medicine report, "To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System", quality of care improvements have become a high priorityamong health system leaders. Many questions persist about how to best translate what is known about patient safety issues into repicable and sustainable practices. Hospital and health system leaders nationwide have expressed a need for hands-on tools that offer streamlined and specific approaches to identifying and implementing system improvements. A preliminary list of more than 200 hospitals and health systems have inquired about individual assistance in establishing an Executive Patient Safety program. The proposed one-day symposium addresses the needs of those organizations. Through the presentation of four varying case examples, distribution of tested, valuable practical tools, and a postconference follow-up survey of attendees, the symposium will encourage and guide health system leaders in their first steps toward safer systems.
