Have you or those close to you been impacted by a medical error? High reliability organizations such as nuclear power and airline industries experience errors in the range of 1 in 1 million to 1 in 10 million events. By contrast, the error rate in U.S. health care is estimated at 1 in 600. The Hippocratic Oath obligates health care professionals to not harm their patients. Robinson will discuss recent strategies to improve reliability and the culture of safety in health care delivery.
Robinson serves on the Boston Children’s Hospital Committee for the Solutions for Patient Safety (SPS) National Children’s Network and previously worked on patient safety initiatives with pediatrician and SPS co-leader Anne Lyren at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital.
