SUMMIT 2: PATIENT SAFETY

Every tenth patient in European hospitals suffers from preventable harm and adverse effects related to his or her care. As adverse events also carry a high financial cost, patient safety remains a major global priority. This summit brings together European and global experts to share proven best-practices in process re-engineering and IT implementation to improve patient safety.
