Joint Commission Resources, Inc., and the Council on Surgical & Perioperative Safety are cosponsoring a symposium entitled “Improving, Enhancing and Sustaining Positive Patient Outcomes”to be held on May 8-9, 2009, in Chicago, at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers. 

The target audience is intended to engage all those who provide care and services within the surgical area including surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, perianesthesia and perioperative nurses, surgical physicians’ assistants, surgical technologists, and pharmacists.  The conference goals of increased teamwork and improved communication translate to better patient outcomes, topics of interest to leadership (CEO, CFO), and risk management professionals.  At the end of the conference, participants will be able to: describe the current state of perioperative safety and prioritize strategies for improvement within their home organization; analyze methods shared to select those that work best for their setting in order to enhance the interdisciplinary care model; evaluate and apply interdisciplinary approaches designed for specialty patients/situations;examine tenets of and advocate for medication safety in the perioperative area; and investigate causes of surgical/anesthesia misadventures as a means to develop preventive processes.
