Each year, the goals are analyzed and if necessary, updated. The 2016 National Patient Safety Goals aim to: 1) Improve the accuracy of patient and resident identification; 2) Improve the effective communication of caregivers; 3) Improve the safety of medication use; 4) Improve the safety of clinical alarm systems; 5) Reduce the risk of health care associated infections; 6) Organize identification of safety risks evident in patient populations; and 7) Set universal protocol for preventing wrong site/procedure/person surgeries (TJC, 2016).

In 7th grade I found a new team that I would since aspire to be a part of.

Through my career, I’ve learned that medicine evolves daily. Medical training has provided the necessary tools to treat patients, yet systemic issues remain with far more elusive solutions. Although my engineering background has molded my analytical approach, successful medical leadership requires extra skills to address concerns of all involved parties.

Although residency prepared me to become a clinician, the most challenging issues involved advocating for resources, improving education, and ensuring patient safety among the greater institutional goals, particularly financial viability.
