This virtual summit, hosted by Ascension’s national patient safety and quality teams, brings together associates and thought leaders from across Ascension who share a passion for providing care without harm. Over the course of three days, you will have the opportunity to attend a variety of virtual sessions that share practical tools and real-life improvement initiatives through powerful stories from across Ascension. Associates and leaders working in patient safety, quality, nursing, pharmacy, physicians, social work, risk management and other allied healthcare professions will find the summit highly valuable and time well-spent. Attendees may choose to join any or all of the events for each day of this three-day summit via Google Meet.

1. Integrate high-reliability principles and strategies, such as fostering psychological safety and using standardized communication techniques, to reduce errors and improve team performance during high-stakes events like patient transfers and rapid responses.
2. Employ evidence-based improvement initiatives from the sessions, such as multidisciplinary review processes for mortality or barcode scanning practices for medication safety, to address specific quality and safety challenges within their own ministries.
3. Apply effective, system-based educational approaches, like the "All Teach, All Learn" method, to reinforce key safety and quality concepts and drive sustainable, measurable improvements in clinical practice and regulatory readiness.

1. Upon completion of this activity, nurses will integrate communication techniques like pre-assigned code roles and standardized handoff processes into their clinical practice to improve teamwork and reduce delays in care, as evidenced by improved role clarity and throughput metrics.

1. Upon completion of this activity, social work attendees will be able to evaluate and advocate for improvements in interdisciplinary team communication and coordination to address care delays, ultimately supporting safe transitions and ethical practice for patients with complex social and medical needs.
