36th Annual Meeting: Creating a Culture of Patient Safety

The California Association of Long Term Care Medicine (CALTCM) is proud to present our 36th Annual Meeting entitled, Creating a Culture of Patient Safety. This two-day conference highlights critical strategies to improve nursing home patient safety and provides techniques and tools for the interdisciplinary team to adapt to their own facility needs.

In addition, we will offer an intensive half-day program on INTERACT II, a proven process for reducing unnecessary transfers to the acute hospital, featuring renowned geriatrician, Dr. Joseph Ouslander, as faculty and facilitator. This exceptional Pre-Conference Workshop will be held July 16 and provides an opportunity for nursing home leadership to learn practical strategies to reduce avoidable hospitalizations in a workshop environment. Participants will become familiar with a number of tools they can implement at their facility. 

Highlights of Creating a Culture of Patient Safety include presentations on culture change and resident safety, patient safety program development, change of condition management and hospital transfers, End-of-life Care, medication safety, and medico-legal liability and risk reduction. Sessions will also include cultural and linguistic competency themes such as religion, language, and ethnicity.
 
Our faculty comprises a distinguished group of physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacist, academicians, and other subject matter experts who will present topics highlighting new evidence-based care as well as care processes and procedures aimed at enhancing safe patient care practices in the long term care setting.
