Lessons Learned from Medical Device-Related Patient Injuries and Deaths

Tuesday, November 2, 4-5 p.m.

Using a variety of actual case study examples, this presentation will focus on the invaluable and often hidden lessons that can be learned from medical device-related incidents when they are thoroughly investigated, and their root cause(s) identified. Only then can the hope of their reoccurrence be avoided, or the level of harm reduced. Ethically and morally we owe it to injured patients and all of health care to learn as much from these tragedies as possible.
