Innovative Thinking and Networking for Chief Nursing Executives
The fifth annual Nursing Leadership Congress (NLC)—Advancing Patient Safety: No Time to Quit—featured the timely issue of how to our focus on safe patient care while dealing with unprecedented economic challenges. As a nurse leader, keeping your team moving forward on the patient safety path is always a challenge. The NLC was a unique opportunity to take two days to refocus and revisit the game plan for advancing patient safety.
The event—held October 19-20, 2009 at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead in Atlanta—was made possible through an educational grant from McKesson and Intel in collaboration with sponsorship from the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP).
Improving patient safety is a complex issue that requires a multidisciplinary blend of highly skilled and dedicated people. Nursing leaders are well-positioned to direct and connect many of the efforts required to transform healthcare and improve patient safety. Join us and benefit from:
Those who joined benefited from:
- Industry leader insights: Key safety advocates taught about inventive ways to improve the quality of patient-centered care.

- Interactive thought leader sessions: NLC attendees, health policy experts and organization leaders from across the country brainstormed on how to adopt and advocate concrete patient safety concepts.
- Time to network and recharge: A few days to immerse in this topic and meet with other nurse leaders from across the U.S.
