King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH&RC) has announced that it will host the Quality, Leadership, and the Pursuit of Zero Harm Conference in Riyadh on November 16th.
The conference, it shared, is dedicated to the “pursuit of unwavering patient safety and the advancement of High Reliability in healthcare.”
Held in collaboration with Joint Commission International (JCI) and Joint Commission Arabia (JCA), the event will bring together an exclusive assembly of healthcare professionals, academics, researchers, healthcare policymakers, and visionary executive leaders.
Dr. Hisham Alomran, the president of the conference and the Chief Quality Officer at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, invited healthcare professionals across all specialties and researchers to participate in the conference.
The conference will host various panel discussions and workshops, focusing on high-reliability practices in healthcare inspired by the nuclear energy and aviation sectors.
Topics include strategies for achieving and maintaining high standards in healthcare operations, and their application in medical and nursing teams.
The conference aims to transform healthcare through knowledge exchange, expertise transfer, and transformative collaborations, enhancing community involvement and strengthening high reliability in healthcare organisations.
At the conference, KFSH&RC said it will illuminate the pathway to harmonise operations with the beliefs of high reliability, ensuring that it consistently delivers the highest levels of care and safety to its patients.
It will also deeply explore the impact of High Reliability Organizations (HRO) on the overall health outcomes of their patients.
Furthermore, the conference will serve as a dynamic forum for dissecting the complexities of sustaining and expanding the capacities of High Reliability Organizations.
The role of visionary healthcare leaders in promoting and nurturing a culture of high reliability will be explored, as well as the innovative strategies they can employ to create an environment that builds continuous improvement and innovation.
