The Center’s customizable patient safety forums and boot camps offer a unique way to inspire, organize, and focus patient safety efforts. While each event is unique, a common workshop element exists that is intended to assist in the development, or reassessment of, an organization’s patient safety plan. The event is tailored to fit the regional and common needs of each hosting organization. Some events are open to the public and others are privately available to select organizational groups. We encourage you to find an event near you, or consider hosting your own.
The Center’s expert trainers are certified in patient safety and dedicated to providing an engaging, challenging, and motivating day with action-oriented goals. Each attending individual will leave with specific next steps for their organization.

The Center recognizes the unique environments that exist among providers in healthcare. The Patient Safety Forum is a customized event for any provider group, though many are open to disciplines from across the care continuum. The Center’s diverse team of certified patient safety experts incorporate relatable examples and experiences from their work in hospitals, nursing homes, EMS, home health, etc.
The format and training of the Patient Safety Boot Camps are similar to the Patient Safety Forum, but the Patient Safety Boot Camp is geared directly to the EMS industry with specific and relatable examples and experiences. Please visit our EMS site for more details on Patient Safety Boot Camps.
These CPS events are a one-of-kind workshop that educates attendees on patient safety foundations and theories. Instructors will assist attendees in reassessing their patient safety program, culminating with clarification of next steps.
The Center’s patient safety workshops are a must for healthcare leaders, educators and others who have a passion for safety.
