Improving Acute Myocardial Infarction care: Virtual Learning Collaborative
Registration opens May 17, 2010 via webex
Safer Healthcare Now! in partnership with the Canadian Patient Safety Institute invites you to participate in an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Virtual Learning Collaborative- Time is Myocardium, designed to improve the timely administration of Thrombolytic agents.
Over the past year Safer Healthcare Now! teams have reported that between 44 and 70 per cent, or an average of 62 per cent of AMI patients who received thrombolytics had this myocardium-saving treatment delivered within 30 minutes of hospital arrival. For safer care, we need to improve the timely administration of thrombolytic agents!
Participants will attend four learning sessions and a closing congress scheduled over the course of the year, beginning in June 2010 and ending in February 2011. The learning sessions and team calls will be held using WebEx technology. Registration opens on May 17, 2010. Check http://www.saferhealthcarenow.ca/ for further information.
Halifax 10: The Canadian Healthcare Safety Symposium
October 21 to 23, 2010
The Marriott Waterfront, Halifax, Nova Scotia
The Anniversary Meeting
The Halifax Symposium has changed significantly over the last ten years, as has healthcare safety, both nationally and internationally.
For this Tenth Anniversary, the Organizing Committee has invited back some of our great faculty from previous programs. These speakers have been challenged to reflect on what they previously presented and to provide an update on their topics in light of current thinking. They will give their perspectives on what the next decade should or might bring. Keynote Speakers include Dr. James Reason, and Dr. Charles Vincent! This is the final Symposium and it is sure to be an excellent event.
Two Pre-Conference events will also take place on October 21: Pre-Conference 1: Disclosing, Informing and Investigating: Supporting a culture of safety, and Pre-Conference 2: The economics of healthcare safety.
