Safe Tables offer the opportunity for hospitals to work together to address patient safety issues. These protected learning collaboratives provide a place for staff to share best practices, seek advice from peers, and learn from national experts in a confidential setting. Safe Table meetings are held both in person and over web conferences.
Materials and slides from past Safe Tables are available to member hospitals who have signed the Safe Table confidentiality agreement. Below are agendas from past Eliminating Hosptial Acquired Infection Safe Tables. For more information, or to request presentation materials, please contact Cat Ernevad.
