We are also joined by Patricia A. McGaffigan, RN, MS, CPPS, Vice President, Safety Programs, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), previously served as COO and Senior VP of Programs at the National Patient Safety Foundation until 2017, when the Foundation merged with IHI.
In this episode, our host Mark Graban asks Kedar and Patricia about the IHI National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety, how this is connected to the late Paul O'Neill, and the connections between workforce safety and patient safety. We also chat about the IHI National Forum and how that is a virtual event this year.
