Medical Errors Prevention Coalition Seeking Safety Presentations

The Massachusetts Coalition for the Prevention of Medical Errors is seeking proposals for presentation at its April 3, 2019, Patient Safety Forum at the Sheraton Framingham. 
The Coalition is particularly interested in presentations related to:  
Transformational strategies that accelerate improvements in safety and that build improvement into daily processes, including:
Leadership approaches
Improvement and safety culture (including reducing staff burnout/enhancing joy in work; and building teamwork and communication)
Organizational learning systems and process improvement (daily safety huddles, unit-based improvement, coaching/training) 
Patient and family engagement
Staff engagement 
Strategies for improvements in reducing diagnostic errors; care transitions/handoffs; health information technology; and settings other than inpatient.
If you are interested in presenting your work during the 2019 Patient Safety Forum, please prepare a summary using this form and e-mail it to the Coalition’s Amelia DeFelice at adefelice@macoalition.org by January 7th. (If you are planning on submitting a proposal, please let Amelia know as soon as possible, and include the topic, to assist the Coalition in its planning.)
