Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) is gearing up to host the third annual Middle East Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare (ME Forum), where nearly 3,000 healthcare professionals from Qatar and the Middle East will spend three days learning and discussing the latest quality and safety improvement practices.
The event will be held from May 29 to 31 at Qatar National Convention Centre.
The ME Forum is seen as an important professional development opportunity for nurses, doctors, allied health professionals, hospital administration and medical students in Qatar and beyond, with the wide-ranging content contained across six keynote addresses and 33 interactive workshops to be presented by local and international healthcare experts.
This year’s forum content will focus on enhancing patient-centred care through enriching patient engagement practices, establishing better patient flows across healthcare delivery systems, implementing a range of specialised intervention programmes and showcasing improvement methodologies to deliver improved patient outcomes.
There will also be over 240 patient safety and quality improvement initiatives from across the GCC region exhibited in a poster and storyboard competition, and a Knowledge Zone that will feature a number of local quality and safety interactive displays from HMC, Hamad Healthcare Quality Institute, Academic Health System and the Ambulance Service.
Forum co-chair and HMC chief of planning and performance Gary Needle said the forum has become a significant component of the GCC healthcare calendar. “The Middle East Forum is becoming an important regional platform for healthcare professionals where quality and safety improvements are discussed openly, ideas are shared and challenges are highlighted.
“We are excited to see such a large collaboration of peers across numerous disciplines, who are all here with the ultimate purpose of learning about what they can do to provide safer and healthier outcomes for their patients,” added Needle.
HMC has again partnered with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, a leading non-profit healthcare quality improvement organisation based in the US, to hold this year’s forum.
The ME Forum is a key component of HMC’s Quality Improvement Strategy, which supports Qatar’s National Health Strategy.
