Featured Speaker: Karen Frush, MD, Chief Patient Safety Officer, Duke University Health System and Vice Chair of Strategic Initiatives, Department of Pediatrics
Patient safety is a priority for all health care professionals, including those who work in emergency care.

Health care professionals must work proactively to improve safety in the pediatric emergency care system. Join Dr Karen Frush, as she discusses the unique aspects of pediatric care that may contribute to an increased risk of medical error including such issues as lack of standardized dosing, variations in the pediatric age range, inability of young children to provide a medical history or clearly communicate complaints; and the unique physical and developmental characteristics of children that may affect treatment strategies and medication regimens.
