Free healthcare safety seminar
Intravenous conference: ECRI Institute, an independent nonprofit that researches the best approaches to improving patient care, is offering a free educational breakfast seminar, “Hazard and Recall Management: Best Practices,” which will be held at ECRI Institute’s Headquarters in Plymouth Meeting, PA, on Wednesday, January 21, 2009.
The seminar is designed for hospital-based biomedical and clinical engineers, materials managers, risk managers, patient safety officers, and other health professionals responsible for responding to product alerts. The program is aimed at providing insight into identifying and locating affected healthcare products and putting an effective alert management process in place.
“Managing hundreds of device recalls can be a daunting task for hospitals,” says James P. Keller, Jr., M.S., vice president, health technology evaluation and safety, ECRI Institute. “Through this seminar, participants will learn about ways to efficiently manage this process so that critical information about potentially dangerous products does not fall through the cracks.”
Seminar attendees will also learn the common missteps in the hazard and recall process, as well as how to establish executive-level buy-in to the alert process. In addition, the seminar will feature a panel/audience discussion on the five most common challenges of hazard and recall management.
