Voices from the Field: Five Years after "To Err is Human."
The response and feedback on our annual scientific meeting was extremely positive and encouraging.
Here are some examples received by the staff and organizers:
"I attended the Chicago Patient Safety Forum's Annual Meeting this past Friday, and was very impressed both with the program and the mission of your organization."
"The feedback that I have received has been excellent and people were very complimentary regarding the diversity of the topics as well as the quality of the presentations."
"I have had a number of e-mails from around the city complementing the Forum."
The Chicago Patient Safety Forum would like to thank the over 200 participants who made it a success.
