Emotional Harm from Disrespect – National Patient Safety Foundation Professional Learning Series Webcast**
12 January, 2016 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm EST
Most healthcare facilities have a rigorous way to assess preventable physical harm to their patients, with strategies to identify these harms and implement corrective action plans. However, much of the harm experienced by patients is not physical, but emotional, and that this emotional harm also has significant impacts on patients.
Understanding this harm and developing a process to identify, categorize, and put in place preventive measures helps providers better serve patients and develop a culture where the patient truly comes first. In this webinar, attendees will learn how to define, identify, and categorize emotional harms to preserve patient dignity, and begin thinking about action steps to correct the sources of these emotional harms.
Key Objectives:
- Frame emotional harm in terms of "respect" and "dignity".
- Describe a novel framework for emotional harms from disrespect.
- Describe how this method is promoting patient-centered care.
Featured Speakers:
- Patricia Folcarelli, RN, MA, PhD, Senior Director for Patient Safety at the Silverman Institute for Health Care Quality, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
- Kenneth Sands, MD, MPH, Chief Quality Officer and Senior Vice President of Health Care Quality at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
- Lauge Sokol-Hessner, MD, Associate Director of Inpatient Quality at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
- Melinda Van Niel, MBA, CPHRM, Manager of Patient Safety at the Department of Health Care Quality, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
There is no cost to participate but space is limited.
