2008 Northwest Patient Safety Conference - "Patient Safety in Transition"

Date: Thursday, June 12, 2008

Location: Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center 17620 International Blvd.

Time: 8:00am - 5:00pm

This year's regional conference on patient safety will explore the significance of transitions at several levels: As a maturing health care movement, what has patient safety accomplished, and how must it change to address both continuing and new challenges? What will it take to achieve significant and lasting improvement and what lies ahead? Patients move through multiple transitions in care - changes in levels of care, providers, physical location. We will hear specific examples of how safety can be optimized throughout many types of transitions.
