For EMS Leaders and Providers
The Center for Patient Safety has the opportunity to meet and listen to EMS leaders and providers from around the country. Frequently we are asked “what is patient safety and how do we improve it”? We believe patient safety is composed of many areas and can’t be defined by one part. Therefore, the goal of this series of free webinars is to offer you information and content that will address some of these areas. These include, human factors, quality, risk and culture to name a few, as well as other new and innovative areas.
If you have the desire to learn and would like to improve what you do as an EMS professional, please join us. Each webinar will focus on topics designed to enlighten and educate as well as encourage participants to take a proactive approach to reducing patient harm.
