SUMMARY:Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success
DESCRIPTION:This virtual panel is approved for 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face credits. \nMedical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States at 220\,000 to 440\,000 people dying each year from preventable errors according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Clinicians and hospital staff face a devastating impact as a result of being involved with a medical error especially in organizations without a support system in place. Moreover\, only 64% of staff who responded to the 2016 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture’s hospital comparative database felt that reported mistakes led to positive changes. To help healthcare leaders achieve total system safety across the continuum\, ACHE\, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement/National Patient Safety Foundation Lucian Leape Institute developed a guide “Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success”. This Blueprint is designed to help leaders shape\, create and sustain the type of organizational culture needed to ensure patient and workforce safety and inspire healthcare leaders on the journey to zero harm. \n  \nOur Panelists: \n  \nKenneth Rates (Moderator)\nDirector of Operations\nMcLaren Medical Group \nJonathan Baktari\, M.D.\nCEO\ne7 Health and US Drug Test Centers \nCatie Beasley\nCoordinator of Quality & Safety Culture\nCook Children’s Health Care System \nRichard Greenhill\, DHA CPHQ\, PMP\, FISQua\, FACHE\nAssistant Professor\nTTUHSC \nTracy O’Daniel\nVP of Clinical Outcomes and High Reliability\nArdent \n  \nRegister Here\n  \nSpeakers’ Bios: \n  \nDr. Jonathan Baktari\, MD is the CEO at both e7 Health and US Drug Test Centers and the host of Baktari MD. e7 health is a preventative health and wellness company that has been called the “the Uber of preventive medicine” and was named the Best Technology Company in the Healthcare Space in 2019.
