The Health Roundtable has been assisting Australian and New Zealand hospitals to improve patient safety for many years, with an annual Patient Safety Roundtable, mortality analysis, and regular reviews of adverse events as part of the Nursing Improvement Group. However, there has been no on-going group of people focusing specifically on patient-safety improvements.

In 2011 we are forming a new Improvement Group recognising that many of the leading hospitals are interested in improving the co- ordination and collaboration across a number of these programs.

Group members will have access to the full suite of patient-safety indicators that have been developed, and will be able to assist with the development of improved indicators, and will also share their innovations and processes with each other in a collaborative setting with periodic webcasts to complement the annual meeting.

For more information contact Bernie Mullin
