HEALTHCAST: VOLUME 40

Patient safety is a top priority; now, more than ever. Patient Safety Awareness Week, observed every March, encourages all of us to learn more about healthcare safety. These speakers below inspire action to improve the safety of the healthcare system—for both the patients and the workforce. Join APB in celebrating patient safety and the ongoing efforts to continuously improve the quality and safety of the patient care experience.

Please let me know if you would like to chat further about bringing one of these speakers to your next event.
