(MENAFN- QNA) A global initiative of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), the World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) will explore new patient safety measures.
The WISH Summit, which will play a key role in addressing and finding solutions to the most pressing health issues, is in line with QF's mission of launching initiatives as part of the nation's drive towards fundamental healthcare development and reform.
Patient Safety is one of seven research work streams to be presented at the 2015 WISH Summit taking place in February in Qatar, where leading international health experts will join an influential community of heads of state, government ministers, academics, clinicians, policy makers and business leaders to discuss innovative solutions to some of the most pressing global health challenges.
To this end, it has appointed distinguished scholar Professor Peter J Pronovost to chair its Patient Safety Forum.
Professor Pronovost, MD, PhD, FCCM, Senior Vice President for Patient Safety and Quality, and Director of the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality at John Hopkins Medicine in the United States, will oversee the work of a team of distinguished international experts, drawn from every field relevant to patient safety.
The seven Forums will collate and consider the latest evidence in order to produce practical recommendations for health policymakers around the world.
The issues addressed by the Patient Safety Forum will include an exploration of how a systems integration approach can improve patient safety; how health systems can be designed, procured and delivered to enhance patient safety, experience and outcomes; the human and economic costs of safety failings; and learning from other high-risk sectors such as aerospace and defence.
The Forum will publish an evidence-based report for discussion at the 2015 Summit. (MORE)
