Applying Human Factors in Health Care: Leveraging Multidisciplinary Approaches to Improve Patient Safety
October 1 - 3, 2008
NOTE: There have been schedule changes as follows-
Dr. Torsher & Jacqueline Arnold will speak on October 1.
Dr. Sexton will speak on October 2.
Thomas Suther will speak on October 2.
Dr. Wiegmann will speak on October 3.
Improving patient safety continues to be a top priority in health care worldwide. An important tool to accomplish this goal is Human Factors science; the study of how humans perform physically and psychologically within their work environments. The aim of the third annual Applying Human Factors in Health Care conference is the application of human factors principles in specific care settings including the operating room, the emergency room, and the inpatient/outpatient setting.
This goal can best be accomplished through an integrated multifunction team approach. Accordingly, the target audience for this conference are health teams including physicians, nurses, administrators, and safety, quality, and human factors professionals.
Join us in building a learning community as we explore solutions to common challenges in patient safety.

Integration Through Community Laboratory Insourcing
October 1 - 3, 2008
Critical patient care decisions frequently require immediate access to important laboratory results. A community-based laboratory can provide continuity across the continuum of care benefiting patients, physicians and the health system. This concept, defined as laboratory outreach, presents the following advantages: increased hospital revenue, lower fixed cost per test, reduced excess lab capacity, faster turnaround times and lower overall costs per episode of care.
The development, implementation and growth of a successful laboratory outreach program is a critical component of health system integration. This course will present a practical approach to all aspects of developing and growing a successful laboratory outreach program. Experienced faculty will share their knowledge on how a laboratory can reach its maximum potential.
