Quality Colloquium: Healthcare Quality Conference

A Hybrid Conference and Internet Event - Washington, DC, United States

Improving healthcare quality and patient safety is a top priority for healthcare organizations, particularly now that the financial implications of the ACA implementation are factoring into the equation. The issues regarding patient safety and health care quality have been well-documented and widely discussed for many years. Many hospitals, clinics, health plans, patient safety organizations, and private companies have been hard at work developing innovative quality and safety initiatives that will improve their systems of care; others who have not yet begun that journey are looking to learn from the successes of their colleagues in the field.

The National Quality Colloquium, now in its 12th year, is widely regarded as the premier conference dedicated to the issues and challenges surrounding healthcare quality, patient safety and medical error reduction. With the help of National leaders in the field, the Colloquium will feature practical advice and new initiatives for plans, providers, hospital leaders and educators.

Review, assess and analyze the policies the US Government and accrediting bodies have implemented pertaining to patent safety and quality improvement

Identify new strategies for the design and implementation of patient safety and quality innovations by hospitals, health plans, and medical groups in light of health reform
