2017 Summit on Quality keynote presentations and speakers include:

Responding to Patients after Adverse Events: Update on Recent Developments and Future Directions - Thomas H. Gallagher, MD, professor and associate chair, Department of Medicine, professor, Department of Bioethics and Humanities, University of Washington

Health care professionals can face several challenges in the aftermath of adverse events. New tools and techniques, in the form of communication and resolution programs (CRP), are available to help health care professionals respond to adverse events. Thomas Gallagher provides a general overview of CRPs and how they benefit the public, health care providers and institutions. In addition, he will explore innovations and future directions for responding to adverse events.

 

Connecting the Dots: Collaboration as a Survival Strategy for You AND Your Patients - Laura Adams, Rhode Island Quality Institute

As new payment models begin to reward healthy populations, there is a dawning realization that “come and get it care” is a thing of the past. Adams will address what is needed to create a health care system worthy of the patient and family’s trust — a new definition of health; new ways to tell the truth about our performance; and a recognition that the patient/family are already in control of their health. When these principles guide as design, we can create a health care system worthy of the trust of those who depend on it literally for their lives.

In addition to outstanding keynote presentations, the Summit includes morning and afternoon breakout sessions presented by physicians, nurses, and quality and patient safety professionals to share their experiences, best practices and innovative health care delivery in Kansas facilities.
