At a time when the potential of technological innovation to improve patient safety and patient outcomes is increasingly undeniable, tangible results are still a long way off. What are the missing links that prevent the vision of breakthrough digital solutions from translating into genuine improvements in patient safety and outcomes? 

​

How can we engage medical teams suffering from staff shortages, undermined by chronic fatigue and overwhelmed by the growing demand for care, to implement changes and redesign their working habits? 

​

While some point to the lack of political support, the leadership from healthcare managers or a medical culture of resistance to digital transition, others question the resilience of today's healthcare systems. 

​

This year's conference titled Enhancing Patient Safety Through Digital Innovation: The Missing Links  aims to foster convergence, by inviting healthcare professionals and providers, patient representatives, academics, the life sciences industry and policy-makers to share what each of them does or could do within those increasingly complex systems, to accelerate towards a reality where patient safety and outcomes drive all actions.
