The Patient Safety Congress includes six tracks that reflect the key areas of interest of our attendees. Please select the track most appropriate for your presentation. Please note that based on reviews of the Congress planning committee, your submission may be considered for an alternative track.

• Safety Across the Continuum of Care: Ensuring safe care in settings outside of the hospital, including ambulatory care centers, office practices, surgicenters, and care in the home. This might also include transitioning care from the hospital to one of these settings.
• Culture and Leadership: Establishing a compelling vision for safety for your leaders, board members, workforce, and patients and families in creating and sustaining cultures of safety.
• Learning Systems for Improving Safety: Creating and optimizing learning systems to accelerate safety. A learning health care system is when science, informatics, incentives, and culture are aligned for continuous improvement and innovation. This may also include reduction of health care associated harm, new and emerging practices, high reliability, lean, six sigma, root cause analysis and action and human factors.
• Safe and Equitable Care for Populations with Diverse Health Needs​: Ensuring safe and equitable care for populations with diverse health needs, including LGBTQIA, behavioral health, elderly, neonatal, pediatric, rural and other at-risk populations as well as those experiencing extreme poverty or conflict.
• Workforce Safety: Establishing a compelling vision for physical and psychological safety, and zero harm for our workforce. Includes leadership accountability, managing disruptive behavior, workplace safety programs, building resiliency and reducing burnout, fostering respect in the workplace, the care environment, and joy in work.
• Patient- and Family- Engagement: Partnering with patients and families to create and ensure the safest care.
