Serious Safety Event Discussions: A New Quarterly Meeting Launches Monday, Nov. 13

On Monday, Nov. 13 at Hochberger Auditorium, the first in a series of quarterly meetings will launch for Cook Children's Medical Center - Fort Worth and Dodson staff. “Significant Safety Event Discussions: Accidental PICC Line Placement” is the first session. 

The purpose of these sessions is for us to have transparent discussions about a serious safety event at the organization and allow us to talk about the learnings that came out of the event and hopefully foster conversation with you in the audience. 

While the event is open to everyone, the presentation is geared toward our medical providers.
