Live, In-Person CME/CE Program for Physicians, Nurses, and Allied Health Professionals

The objective of this program is to familiarize health care professionals with performance improvement methodologies, techniques, and processes that will have a positive and immediate impact on improving patient safety and significantly reducing medical errors. These improvements and easy-to-implement strategies are introduced by nationally renowned physician / speaker Arnold Mackles. Dr. Mackles has addressed medical audiences throughout the United States and his message is timely, effective, and his presentation style engaging and motivating. His programs are supported by highly credible references from well-respected CME and health care professionals.

Simplifying Patient Safety covers areas of health care that have particularly high rates of medical errors and provides physicians and health care professionals with specific strategies to measurably improve patient safety and avoid common mistakes. Topics include:

• New Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alerts
• Techniques to Improve Handoffs and Transitions
• Reducing Hospital Readmissions
• Global Strategies for Error Reduction and Prevention
• Physicians Role as Patient Safety Leaders
• Efficacy of Patient Safety Technology

Dr. Mackles conducted a well presented and interesting lecture on the topic of Prevention of Medical Errors for our Medical Staff. The evaluations from our Medical Staff Members were very positive and the physicians gained better insight into techniques and methods for reducing / eliminating unnecessary medical errors. In the future, we would be glad to welcome him back to assist us in providing continuing education for our Medical Staff. Medical Error Prevention is an important subject and by having a physician who has” been there and done that” facilitate the presentation; it gives a much higher level of credibility to his peers. A strong program that I highly recommend.
