IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Patient Safety Movement Foundation (PSMF) is bringing together some of the world’s foremost experts and advocates on patient safety at their 11th annual World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit on September 6-7, 2024. Hosted on the campus of the University of California, Irvine, a hub for innovative research, the two-day conference will address some of the most critical issues and pioneering solutions around protecting patients from preventable harm in healthcare settings.
Distinguished speakers from around the world will discuss and present on groundbreaking solutions in patient safety, including leveraging real-time data from electronic medical records, the transformative impact of artificial intelligence in healthcare, implementing best practices for patient safety, championing data transparency, and cultivating a culture of safety systemwide.
The featured keynote presenters are PSMF Founder Joe Kiani; WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus; president emeritus and senior fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Dr. Donald M.

THE PATIENT SAFETY MOVEMENT FOUNDATION
In 2012, Joe Kiani founded the non-profit Patient Safety Movement Foundation to eliminate preventable medical errors in hospitals. His team worked with patient safety experts from around the world to create Actionable Evidence-Based Practices that address top challenges. Hospitals can make a formal commitment to ZERO preventable deaths, and healthcare technology companies are asked to sign the Open Data Pledge to share their data so that predictive algorithms can be developed to identify errors before they become fatal. The PSMF was established through the support of the Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation, and Competition in Healthcare.
