Connecting Risk Management and Patient Safety

Participants’ praise for the ASHRM Patient Safety Curriculum:
“A good overview [and] explanation of the tools that are used in patient safety.”
“Great resources and handouts.”
“Good information and ideas that I can apply at my organization.”

Who should take these sessions?
ASHRM’s Patient Safety Curriculum goes beyond explaining theories and best practices to patient safety practitioners. Faculty will explain human factors principles and show how risk management professionals in many settings can apply them to support the delivery of safe and trusted healthcare. They will demonstrate tested tools and strategies to improve performance and sustain effective risk management practices throughout the organization.
Additionally, the Patient Safety Curriculum can be a rewarding investment for anyone who needs CE credits to apply toward FASHRM (ASHRM fellow), DFASHRM (distinguished fellow) and CPHRM eligibility.
When and where will the sessions be offered in 2008?
The sessions will be offered one time in 2008 – at the Allerton Hotel Chicago, 701 N. Michigan Ave., on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The ASHRM discounted room rate is $199. Attendees must make their own room reservations. To receive these discounted rates, call (877) 701-8111 or (312) 440-1500 before or on June 23.
