Program Description
This educational program is designed to enhance physicians and advanced practice providers involvement in patient safety activities within the ambulatory setting. Ambulatory clinical care is expanding, and more patient encounters occur in the outpatient area compared to hospital-based care. One of the causes of a deficiency in patient safety activities within the ambulatory setting are clinician time constraints and smaller organizations not having the resources to dedicate to a patient safety program. This presentation will focus on patient safety events that led to claims and give clinicians tools in which to mitigate patient safety events.

- Examine the importance of clinician involvement in patient safety activities.
