A9 Networks in quality and safety in health care: international workshop

Format: Talk with questions and answers

Our networks are groupings of healthcare organisations and resource centres within a region that exist to improve quality and safety in health care and share multidisciplinary approaches. We will share experiences from networks in Canada and France to identify factors for sustainable success as well as pitfalls and barriers.

After this session you will be able to:

• Understand how best to implement a network for quality and safety in healthcare
• Identify key factors for sustainable success, pitfalls, and barriers to efficacy and efficiency
• Understand the influences of local regulation and financial constraints
