«Learning from each other”
Medical thinking can move forward only if its inspired by progress and ideas from other disciplines. Therefore, to enrich our knowledge on the link between wellbeing, safety and quality in healthcare, this year’s theme is dedicated to learning from each other. We invite ideas, studies, applications, and interventions from a variety of theoretical and scientific backgrounds, to be presented during the meeting, and discover potential synergies.
This years meeting will address five dimensions of linking Health Professional Well Being to Patient Safety and Quality of Care:
- In-evidence: Studies examining the link between HP well being and patient outcomes
- In-practice: Programs by different institutions/hospitals targeting HP well being
- In-policy: Guidelines and brainstorming on how to include the link between HP well being and quality of care in policy making
- In-education. Examples of how to include HP well being in medical education
- In- experience: Workshops addressing meeting participants
