According to Chris Bethell, Vice President of Marketing for Quantros, "Connectivity is the key and Quantros offers a number of vehicles for healthcare professionals to communicate about quality, safety and compliance and access best practice content. Clinical Cafe was created to help healthcare professionals connect, share, learn and inform."

To celebrate the week, Clinical Cafe is also holding drawings for five Clinical Cafe members to win copies of Dr. Peter Pronovost's new book, SAFE PATIENTS, SMART HOSPITALS: How One Doctor's Checklist Can Help Us Change Health Care from the Inside Out. Pronovost, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, is widely recognized for creating a simple checklist of basic steps that has helped hospital clinicians dramatically reduce many kinds of infections.
