Dear Colleague,
There are a number of challenges that impact quality and safety improvement efforts within primary care settings:
- How we address social determinants of health
- How we promote everyday improvement in our local practices
- How we engage frontline staff in quality and safety initiatives
- How we promote a culture of safety
- How we create reliable systems to prevent delayed or missed diagnosis
- How we are working with those affected by the opioid crisis
- How we lead changes in our local practices
- How we standardize care across multidisciplinary teams
- How we work as part of accountable care organizations
- How we provide care in alternative care settings
- How we not only support, but help define, broader quality and safety initiatives
The 2019 Healthcare Quality and Safety conference offers state-of-the-art approaches to these challenges.
