All IHI Patient Safety Congress sessions are part of four tracks. These tracks were designed around the National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety, which centers on four foundational and interdependent areas prioritized as essential to creating total systems safety. 

Conference Tracks

• Culture, Leadership, and Governance: The imperative for leaders, governance bodies, and policymakers to demonstrate and foster our deeply held professional commitments to safety as a core value and promote the development of cultures of safety.
• Patient and Family Engagement: The spread of authentic patient and family engagement; the practice of co-designing and co-producing care with patients, families, and care partners to ensure their meaningful partnership in all aspects of care design, delivery, and operations.
• Workforce Safety: Ensuring the safety and resiliency of the organization and the workforce is a necessary precondition to advancing patient safety; we need to work toward a unified, total systems-based perspective and approach to eliminate harm to both patients and the workforce.
• Learning System: Initiate and develop systems that foster both intra- and inter-organizational learning and training on safety, develop shared goals for safety across the continuum of care, accelerate and develop the best possible safety learning networks, and expedite industry-wide coordination, collaboration, and cooperation on safety.

All in-person attendees will have on-demand access to sessions that are part of the virtual experience for up to 90 days after the conference (except the CPPS Review Course). In-person pre-conference and workshop sessions will not be recorded.

IHI may, at its discretion, cancel, postpone, or otherwise modify in-person programs at any time, with or without notice. If IHI does so and as a result, a registrant is unable to participate in the program, IHI will refund the registration fee. The registrant, however, will remain responsible for other costs (such as travel and lodging) the registrant incurs in connection with the program, and IHI will not refund the registrant, nor otherwise be responsible for, such costs. Registrants should proceed accordingly and consider travel/lodging cancellation policies — as well as purchasing travel insurance — when incurring such costs. IHI asks registrants to take into consideration the currently evolving situation and advisories related to COVID-19 before incurring travel, lodging, and other costs related to this event.
