The CQI Network and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada presents "Breaking the Silence: Errors in Healthcare"

Horrific cases of medical error often reported in the headlines of many newspapers are just the tip of the iceberg.   Deaths due to medical error exceed many common sources of mortality.  The Institute of Medicine Report in the United States asserted that more people die as a result of medication error than from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer or AIDS.  Nothing suggests that Canadian data may be any different.

This two-day conference brings together a unique group of experts and practitioners including our own Dr. Ross Baker examines the issue from a Canadian perspective.  The conference is scheduled for April 20-21, 2001 at the Holiday-Inn-on-King in Toronto.   For further information please visit the CQI Network website.
