Exciting Patient Safety Symposium - June 9, 2011

SickKids 7th Annual Patient Safety Symposium on June 9, 2011 offers an exciting lineup. Here is a taste of the day from the titles of the presentations: adverse events in hospitalized children in Canada, UK Paediatric Trigger Tool, teamwork and communication, system wide learning from critical events and improving parent provider communication. Breakout sessions are on trigger tools, simulation, targeting zero and family council (FCCAC) parent David Mosher with Drs Niraj Mistry and Stephen Porter on 'Optimizing Patient Safety Through IT Solutions'.

The number and quality of SickKids patient safety presenters speaks to the energy and committment of staff across the hospital to tackle safety and include parents in this critical initiative. Here is the symposium's online agenda.
