Tracey Hoke, MD, MSc; Arun Krishnaraj, MD, MPH; Michael Dake, MD; Andy Pasztor — Moderated by Dr. Ziv Haskal
Wednesday, December 8th
UVA Professor of Radiology, Dr. Ziv Haskal, is joined by a distinguished panel to continue the UVA Radiology Keynote Lecture Series. Using lessons learned from the airline industry, the speakers address a vital question: why, after all this time, are we still having problems providing quality and safe healthcare for ourselves and for our our patients, as providers?
Learning Questions
- How do physicians and institutions accurately measure quality and safety metrics?
- What can the healthcare field learn about transparent safety metrics from the U.S. commercial aviation field?
- Why have nationwide estimates for “avoidable” patient fatalities climbed or only plateaued since nationwide actions to curb these deaths?
