2010 International Forum on Quality & Safety in Health Care

Home > Overview

TMIT is hosting a one-day workshop at the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Health Care. This is an annual meeting presented by the BMJ Group and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

Global Quality Leaders Convened: Hospital chief executives, quality leaders, purchasers, and world-class subject matter experts will focus on the “how to invest” and “how to choose” solutions that can drive “high performance care.”

Hospital leaders have diminishing resources to invest in patient safety and quality. This Global Patient Safety (GPS) Summit provides them with the guidance they need to invest in high performance care.

Who: Governance, Administrative, and Clinical Hospital Leaders.

What: Our curriculum includes decision-support models that will provide an evidence-based "Leadership Guidance System" for hospital leadership teams to invest in patient safety and high performance care. Issues of speed to impact, return on investment, and difficulty of adoption will be explored.

When: This Summit is a one-day event during the four-day International Forum. It is on April 20^th. The entire Forum spans four days between Tuesday the 20^th and Friday the 23^rd of April.

Where: Acropolis Exhibition Centre in the seaside city of Nice, France.
