Patient safety is an extremely important issue. According to a study published in the medical journal The BMJ<\/em> in 2013, 251,454 patients in the United States died due to medical errors or adverse events \u2013 making it the third leading cause of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical engineers can play a critical role in minimizing these occurrences. This workshop will bring together experts from Italy and Canada to propose policies and develop a series of recommendations for hospital administrators, physicians and other clinical personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Items for discussion include the challenge of systemically addressing patient safety, identifying and eliminating potential risks, minimizing hazards through technology, and encouraging organizational commitment to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
