Speakers:Maureen Connor, RN, MPH, Director of Risk Management, Dana-Farber Cancer InstituteSaul N. Weingart, MD, Vice President for Patient Safety, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Over the past decade, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has embraced a philosophy of patient- and familycentered
care. This approach has transformed the way the organization
delivers care. Patients and families are a driving force behind multiple ambulatory care initiatives, including a "fast track" program for pediatric patients with fever
and neutropenia, and a home hydration program. To illustrate the impact of this approach on patient safety, we
will describe the evolution of patient engagement and examine innovative programs in medication reconciliation
and patient-oriented teamwork training.
After this course you will be able to:
• Identify opportunities to enhance patient participation in your organization
• Pilot patient-oriented patient safety initiatives
