Joe Kiani's State of the Movement Address to Introduce the 2017 Summit
Channel: Patient Safety Movement
Date: 2017-04-18

Joe Kiani recognizes each of the efforts from healthcare technology companies, clinicians, family members, advocates, and policy makers alike in increasing the number of lives saved in the last year through patient safety efforts and leadership initiatives around the world. While he recognizes each of the APSS as pivotal in achieving ZERO, he specifically points out Culture of Safety and illustrates the idea that without this mindset, the actions would not follow. The Culture of Safety replaces blame and shame with root cause analysis and adjustment to avoid the error ever again. Joe describes the upcoming year as full of potential and regards it with the upmost optimism.
