The event will also spotlight the latest tools available to empower the frontline caregiver as a patient safety resource.
"The factors driving risk and patient safety practices in today's hospital environments are more complex than ever before," said Karol Wareck, vice president of The RM&PSI. "It is important that we proactively address these topics with CEOs, risk officers and other heath care leaders so they can begin the process of raising awareness and implementing these critical practices in their care environments."
