WEBINAR: Physician Engagement: Reducing Diagnostic Errors to Improve Patient Safety
Speaker, Michael Handler, MD, MMM, FACPE.
Diagnostic errors impact our patients, our providers, and, of course, our finances. We have a responsibility to address the concern. Join this webinar to learn the impact of diagnostic errors and what steps can be taken to help reduce the occurrence of these costly events.
Michael Handler, MD, is the Center for Patient Safety’s Medical Director. Dr. Handler will address the 2015 IOM Update’s recommendations and the existing physician engagement opportunities that can benefit patient safety at your organization.
The IOM update, released in December 2015, states “improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative.”
