ICPS 2018 Final

TIONAL C A ON N F ER E T R N E I N C RD E 3 RD 3INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PATIENT SAFETY 2018 “From Knowledge to Improvement” November 3-4, 2018 CMH-Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry SOUVENIR icps.riphah.edu.pk Souvenir I November 3 - 4, 2018 I CMH, Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry Message Mr. Hassan Muhammad Khan Chancellor Riphah International University Riphah Institute of Healthcare Improvement and Safety (RIHIS) is an endeavor to provide a platform to improve patient safety through knowledge. Riphah International University has developed International conference on Patient Safety as a forum for exchange of cutting edge knowledge and best practices for enhanced healthcare quality. The conference brings together multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and internationally recognized speakers to explore the current issues surrounding patient safety. In Pakistan, healthcare is administered mainly in the private sector which is approximately 80% of all outpatient visits. It is therefore imperative that the private sector facilitate and move this endeavor towards delivery of safer healthcare. We must understand that many of the features of patient safety do not involve financial resources; rather, they involve commitment of individuals to practice safely. Understanding the factors that lead to errors is essential for thinking about changes that will prevent errors from being made. Therefore, it is important that we strive to make Patient Safety a national concern and develop our own standards that are suitable and relevant to our healthcare system. Our efforts are directed at developing internationally accepted standards, capacity building and developing a patient safety ecosystem in partnership with local and regional stakeholders. Message Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad Vice Chancellor Riphah International University Patient Safety has been an area not appropriately addressed even in some so called developed nations. With all technological advancement and expertise in identification of health problem and its remedy, patient care needs extra attention. Standardization at national and international level can save lives of hundreds of people and increase their trust in medical professionals. Riphah International University has the privilege in taking lead in this area. The 3rd International Conference is an indication of Riphah’s commitment to a healthy environment and society in Pakistan. 01 Souvenir I November 3 - 4, 2018 I CMH, Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry Message Mr. Asad Ullah Khan Executive Director Riphah International University It is a matter of great pleasure for Riphah International University and RIHIS to organize the 3rd International Conference on Patient Safety (ICPS) on November 3-4, 2018 at CMH Medical College and Institute of Dentistry, Lahore. International Conference on Patient Safety (ICPS) is the largest patient safety initiative in Pakistan by Riphah International University in making a profound contribution to building a culture of safety, continuous learning and improvement. This conference provides a platform for networking and sharing initiatives and best practices by healthcare professionals across not only from the country but also across borders. This gives an opportunity to international experts and national speakers to share their knowledge and experience, which will help to build a better and safe environment to patients in Pakistan. One of the main objectives of the conference is to create awareness through knowledge as the slogan of 3rd ICPS “From Knowledge to Improvement” shows. Message Dr. Zakiuddin Ahmed Project Director-RIHIS Riphah International University When we finalized our theme for the 1st ICPS, i.e. ‘Patient Safety – Right or a Privilege’, our aim was to introduce the concept and highlight the importance of patient safety in healthcare practice. Progressing towards the 2nd ICPS, we chose ‘Value Based Safe Healthcare’ as our theme for that year and formally launched the patient safety movement in Pakistan, addressing the serious issue of preventable medical errors and came up with local and relevant solutions. After achieving the goal set forward by the previous conferences and witnessing the monumental success of the first two editions, we now move forward in this journey and announce our theme for this year, i.e. ‘From knowledge to Improvement’. With this edition our aim is twofold, while we will unite on a single platform international speakers and national professionals, we will also strive to illuminate the importance of patient safety and empowerment. Keeping in mind the ever growing populace and our considerable lack of resources, it is essential that we cater to these aspects of health care for the masses. Our mission is to pave the way to revolutionize health care practices in Pakistan and formulate a patient centric ecosystem that ably equips doctors, nurses and healthcare personnel to diligently fulfill their responsibilities with patient safety being their utmost priority. To effectuate our mission we have incorporated all the stakeholders in healthcare and have brought them to a shared platform, where we make use of the 360 degree channel to prioritize patient safety and establish patient empowerment as its cornerstone. With such efforts we want patient safety to become instrumental, paving our path towards zero error and a brighter future for the healthcare sector in Pakistan. With this I would like to thank Pakistan Army for realizing the seriousness of this issue and taking up the initiative of not only hosting this event but also contributing to it wholeheartedly. Furthermore, I would like to express my gratitude to the Ministry of Healthcare, Punjab Healthcare Commission and Sindh Healthcare Commission for becoming a vital part of this conference and equipping it with their valuable expertise. To conclude, I would like to convey my appreciation to our speakers for their value addition to this conference along with the exemplary leadership of Riphah University for carrying out this initiative along with our partners for equipping us with the required resources and our core committee for showcasing their dedication, motivation, self-driven attitude and a vision for delivering an outstanding conference. 02 Souvenir I November 3 - 4, 2018 I CMH, Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry Message Prof. Dr. Paul Barach Chairman, International Advisory Board RIHIS Clinical Professor, Wayne State University, USA Visiting Professor, Riphah International University It is a great pleasure and honour to welcome all of you to the 3rd International Conference on Patient Safety in the lovely city of Lahore. We are excited about hosting the 3rd event. Many exciting developments are occurring in Pakistan and many are yearning for healthcare improvement. Riphah International University is a leader in Pakistan in higher education and healthcare delivery. Riphah’s Institute for Safety and Quality is the first in the region to support research and lead operational excellence in these key area. However, a growing stream of reports document that despite years of investment and research, the quality of health care in every country is much worse than it should be. Problems range from disrespect of people when they are interacting with the health care system, to preventable mistakes and harm, to high rates of incorrect and ineffective treatment. A recent National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) of the United States in its report “Crossing the Global Quality Chasm: Improving Healthcare Worldwide”, concluded by stating that the “the global status of healthcare quality is shockingly poor & worrisome.” Achieving universal access to care must be accompanied by quality of care. Health outcomes will not improve unless the care provided is of high quality. Among low- and middle-income countries the exact burden of poor quality is difficult to quantify because of a dearth of data, lack of standard metrics, and insufficient research on quality interventions. But new estimates suggest that globally between 5.7 and 8.4 million people die every year from poor-quality care in LMICs. These deaths, plus disabilities from poor-quality care, account for lost productivity totaling an estimated $1.4 trillion to $1.6 trillion dollars annually. We are excited about the many stakeholders involved in the reform and improvement of the Pakistani healthcare system including the patients who are integral to this success. We look forward to your active participation and promise you a very fruitful and impactful meeting. Message Maj. Gen. (R) Dr. Abdul Khaliq Naveed Principal CMH Lahore Medical College & Institute of Dentistry Patient safety, or the reduction of preventable harm to patients, is one of the most important considerations in improvement of health systems.
