According to the World Health Organization, patient safety means offering "freedom … from unnecessary harm or potential harm associated with healthcare." According to the Institute of Medicine’s 1999 report To Err is Human, between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans die in hospitals each year due to mistakes in their care. This activity will review protocols that can be established to reduce patient safety errors.

In support of improving patient care, Nationwide Children's Hospital is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC),  the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for the healthcare team.

The Nationwide Children's Hospital® adheres to ACCME Criteria, Standards and Policies regarding industry support of continuing medical education. Disclosure of faculty and their commercial relationships will be made prior to the activity.
