The Role of Standards in Preventing & Mitigating Health IT Patient Safety Risks

Health IT Community Technical Workshop for all Stakeholders: Learn and Share Industry Best Practices.

This forum is an opportunity to receive updates on the latest standards development process related to risk prevention and mitigation, quality assurance and safety-related usability, to find out about recent findings from studies conducted on this subject, and to bring industry stakeholders together to share best practice, and define the path forward for risk prevention and mitigation that apply to Health IT.
