You are cordially invited to join us to celebrate the extraordinary outcomes of the first three years of Patient Safety First…A California Partnership for Health, the largest statewide patient safety collaborative in the nation. Patient Safety First was launched in 2010 by Anthem Blue Cross, National Health Foundation, the Hospital Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties, the Hospital Council of Northern and Central California and the Hospital Association of Southern California to improve the quality and safety of hospital care received by Californians.

We are holding this special event to thank ALL of the hospitals that contributed to the tremendous achievements made by this collaborative effort over the past three years. You have made a difference and together we have improved safety, reduced health care costs and ultimately saved lives.

 Highlights of the event include:

• The announcement of the results from the first 3 years of Patient Safety First.
• Presentations from hospitals that have made significant improvements in reducing hospital acquired infections, sepsis mortality and early elective deliveries.
• Keynote presentation from Nate Kaufman, renowned expert in the areas of peak performing hospitals, hospital strategy, physician transactions, integrated delivery systems, managed care, joint ventures and dispute resolution.
• Touching patient story from Chris Jerry, father of Emily Jerry and founder of the Emily Jerry Foundation.
• An opportunity to network with other health care leaders from across the state.
• Phase 2 of Patient Safety First, and beyond.

We truly appreciate the time on your part to attend this very important event and look forward to seeing you on July 9th!
