Patient safety is a critical aspect of high quality health care (Canadian Patient Safety Institute, 2009). Regardless of practice setting, rehabilitation professionals continually work to provide safe care to their patients/clients. In 2009, the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) released The Safety Competencies, a framework that identifies knowledge, skills and attitudes required by all health professions.
Drawing on these competencies, the Second Interprofessional Forum on Patient Safety Issues for Rehabilitation Professionals provides an unique opportunity for physiotherapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, audiologists and speech-language pathologists to join together to further their individual and collective understanding of patient safety.
Areas of focus for this year’s conference include effective communication and how interprofessional teamwork contributes to a culture of patient safety, as well as balancing risk versus autonomy, recognizing, responding and managing safety risks.
