2012 Northwest Patient Safety Conference
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center
Our 10th regional conference focuses on the topic of “Safety in Transition.” Presentations by nationally-recognized speakers, breakout discussions in workshop formats, a poster session, and networking opportunities, provide a full-day event that will challenge participants’ assumptions about best practices, and provide tools and methods that can be quickly put to use in participants’ care settings. Topics may cover a wide range from safety during transition to electronic health records, to the effect of health care disparities on safety to patient identification during transfers and transitions, and much, much more…
Conference registrants are invited to a book-signing and lecture by Dr. Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone, on Monday afternoon, May 14 (4:15-6 p.m.) at the conference site, followed by a reception. Registrants will receive priority seating and complimentary parking.

Here’s what participants had to say about last year’s conference…
- This conference day was terrific! And meaningful-I wish more people from my facility had been here.
- I have been inspired to move forward in a leading role after hearing Nancy Skinner speak on transitions.
- It renewed our enthusiasm to continue pressing forward and change our hospital culture, focusing on true patient centered SAFE care!
- There was lots of valuable information and examples that can be shared with staff to help initiate/guide patient safety efforts at workplace.
