Join us Thursday, February 11, at 10am MT/ 12pm ET, where French-speaking panelists will share how we can all work together to accelerate quality and patient safety across Canadian health systems by focusing on five goals for safe, quality care. Patients and families, health teams, policymakers, board members and health leaders will not want to miss this engaging panel featuring the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI), Health Standards Organization (HSO) and other health leaders.
Every patient deserves safe, quality care. And yet, patient safety incidents are the third leading cause of death in Canada. How do we prevent avoidable harm to patients when our healthcare system is vast, complex, and under tremendous pressures? We need clear, collective action.
Attendees will leave the session motivated with new ideas of stakeholders across Canada are already using the newly published Canadian Quality and Patient Safety (CQPS) Framework, and custom Action Guides.
Let's join forces to create better health for all.
