Hall 3, Hyderabad International Convention Center, Novotel, Hyderabad- India
Day: 1 Date: 21 April 2011 Session: 1 Time: 0930 -1030
TOPIC: PATIENT SAFETY PRIORITIES IN HEALTHCARE

Patient Safety is a new healthcare discipline that emphasizes the reporting, analysis, and prevention of
medical error that often lead to adverse healthcare events. The frequency and magnitude of avoidable
adverse patient events was not well known until the 1990s, when multiple countries reported staggering
numbers of patients harmed and killed by medical errors. Recognizing that healthcare errors impact 1 in
every 10 patients around the world, the World Health Organization calls patient safety an endemic
concern.
