The Patient Safety Summit

‍

​​​For more than a decade, IHA's Quality and Patient Safety Team and our over 170 member hospitals have set our sights on making Indiana a safe place to receive health care. The Patient Safety Summit enables us all to step back, assess the work we’ve done, and determine the work we still have to do to reach our ambitious goal. ​

During the Indiana Patient Safety Summit, patient safety and quality leaders come together to learn effective strategies and share best practices that will improve patient safety statewide. From CEOs and CNOs to nursing caregivers, case managers and pharmacists, anyone responsible for patient safety and leading change for improvement will find the Patient Safety Summit an informative and inspiring experience. ​​​​
