RM&PSI announces dates for 2010 national risk management seminar

The Risk Management and Patient Safety Institute (RM&PSI), a national leader in clinical risk management practice and patient safety programs for health care institutions and providers, today announced the dates and focus for its 2010 national risk management seminar.  

The conference will take place April 26-27, 2010 at the Hotel 1000 in Seattle.  This year's focus, "The Human Aspects of Health Care: Tools for Moving into the Future," will help providers address the "human factors" that occur in a health care environment, including information and strategies to:

• Implement a culture of patient-centered quality and safety
• Manage the human issues related to electronic medical records
• Identify and address "burnout" in health care providers
• Foster a positive work environment
• Employ practical leadership principles for an emerging era in health care that demands value and excellence

"The Risk Management and Patient Safety Institute is excited to offer another national seminar that addresses the topics most relevant to today's health care providers and risk managers," said Karol Wareck-Russ, group vice president of the RM&PSI. "Over the years, we've started implementing new, more effective processes and procedures, but the human aspect remains the ultimate variable.  We hope to address the topics that help our providers better manage the human condition and improve how people interact within the systems we've put in place."  

The deadline for the fall conference registration is March 17, 2010, with an early registration discount before Feb. 26, 2010.  Additional conference and registration information can be obtained by visiting the institute's Web site, www.rmpsi.com.  .
