Critical Care Quality Summit

Critical Care Quality Summit
February 16, 2019
Omni Hotel San Diego
San Diego, California, USA

The Critical Care Quality Summit is a unique conference being held as a Critical Care Congress precourse focused on peer-to-peer learning led by expert faculty exploring hot topics in critical care patient safety and quality. The intensive care unit (ICU) team is encouraged to attend, as well as individuals who can plan to return to their ICU equipped with innovative implementation strategies. This event will cultivate an environment of learning and sharing with like-minded critical care professionals with the goal of improving bedside care.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive with project ideas they would like to define strategies and implementation guidelines for. SCCM has created a visioning tool for attendees to get started.

Registrants with abstracts accepted for the cancelled Critical Care Quality Summit in Atlanta, Georgia are encouraged to bring their poster presentations to display.
