DOHA: The third Middle East Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare to be held in May 2015 will focus on themes centred on facilitating a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare.
Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) will jointly host the leading healthcare quality improvement conference in the region.
The annual three-day conference will be held on between May 29 and May 31, at Qatar National Convention Centre. The conference reinforces the partnership between HMC and IHI, a not-for-profit organisation that is a leading innovator in health and health care improvement worldwide.
The four key themes include an in-depth review of the latest knowledge in quality and patient safety practices, the importance of patient engagement, improvement in clinical interventions, and the benefits of improving patient flows.
The world-class programme will feature presentations by leading international experts in health and healthcare over the three days, as well as guest speakers, interactive workshops, and plenary sessions.
Dr Hanan Al Kuwari (pictured), Managing Director of HMC, expressed her delight that the yearly conference is continuing to gain momentum in the region and commented that she expected upwards of 3,000 attendees to register for the 2015 Middle East Forum in Doha.
“This Forum is now a key communication platform in Qatar and the region. Over the three days, we are able to exchange our real-world learnings, highlight successes, and challenge ourselves to learn about the science of improvement to further develop our healthcare services. We have an excellent partnership with the IHI and their support has meant a great deal to a large number of healthcare professionals, including many of HMC’s own staff,” said Al Kuwari.
“We have proven that HMC is capable of progressive and transformative change but are mindful of the opportunities to learn from international best practice to help us make our health service better and deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care to our patients. The Middle East Forum allows us to showcase the great strides that have been made in this important field in the Arab world. It facilitates doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to learn from experts and share their own experience with peers,” she added.
