The 2010 IHA Annual Meeting will be held Oct. 25-27 at the Hyatt Regency Downtown. More information will soon be available on the IHA Web site. Learn more.

Each year a portion of the IHA Annual Meeting is dedicated to patient safety. IHA members have an opportunity to showcase innovative hospital programs that are improving quality and safety in their hospitals.

At its 2009 meeting, Sorrel King, founder of the Josie King Foundation, detailed her path from full-time mom to nationally renowned patient safety advocate, following the death of her 18-month old daughter Josie.

Participants also heard from noted patient safety author Rosemary Gibson. In her presentation, Gibson reflected on the 10 years since the Institute of Medicine’s report, "To Err is Human," detailing how far we have come and where we need to go.
