To conquer the confusion, this year’s virtual PSES Summit will provide information to help break down the requirements into digestible pieces. Presenters will answer questions about how to manage institutional PSES, improve the delivery of patient care design, and discuss innovative programs that reduce costs, accelerate efficiency, and enhance reliability.
The PSES Summit will be held over two half-days and will include national safe table discussions, topic-focused breakout sessions, and amazing keynote presenters – all centered around health care innovation and patient safety evaluation systems.
Target Audience:
Physicians, nurses, CNO, CRO, CMO, compliance officers, risk management, clinical operations staff, quality & patient safety staff
