Virginia Patient Safety Summit

Dear Colleagues,

Each year, the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association (VHHA) hosts the Virginia Patient Safety Summit — one of the nation’s premier patient safety and quality conferences. This year’s theme was “Resilience: The Cornerstone of Virginia Healthcare” and programming included a review of progress on efforts undertaken in the past year to address staff burnout and well-being due to the extraordinary stress placed on healthcare systems and frontline professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

We hope many of you were able to attend this year’s summit, and for the many who were not able to attend, we hope you can find time to review presentations meaningful to you at the 2022 Virginia Patient Safety Summit website, including those from some of our own UVA Health experts: 

As we recognize the importance of advancing a true culture of safety this National Patient Safety Awareness Week, it’s important to acknowledge that delivering the safest care and environment for all patients, families, staff, and visitors begins with developing strategies for our own resilience and well-being. To learn more about support and resources available for UVA Health team members, please visit the Wisdom and Well-being program and Faculty and Employee Assistance Program.

Sincerely,

Wendy Horton, PharmD, MBA, FACHE
Chief Executive Officer | UVA Medical Center

Tracey Hoke, MD, MSc
Chief of Quality and Performance Improvement
