He will also share practical insights into how to drive a quality and patient safety agenda using in-situ simulation as a catalyst.\n\nDr. Blike is currently the Chief Patient Safety Officer at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at the Dartmouth Medical School. He is a founding member of the International Society for Medical Simulation and the chair for the DHMC Simulation Program. Dr. Blike's research utilizes human factors engineering and ranges from basic cognitive systems research to organizational human factors. Organizationally\, he is examining the feasibility of implementing a comprehensive safety program at the hospital-wide level based upon approaches used in the aviation and nuclear power industries. All of his research strives to develop high-leverage countermeasures targeted to prevent\, limit\, or assure the tolerance of human/system failure thus making modern medical care safer for patients.\n\nSponsored by the Division of General Internal Medicine and Public Health \;at Vanderbilt URL;VALUE=URI:http://medicine.mc.vanderbilt.edu/Templates/TemplateDivision.aspx?qs=cElEPTE5 LOCATION:Light Hall (School of Medicine)\, Room 407 A-D CATEGORIES:medical-center,conferencesmeetingsseminarstrainingworkshops,myvu CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20081013T140227 CREATED:20080501T103529 LAST-MODIFIED:20080505T151151 ORGANIZER;CN=Heidi Sullivan:MAILTO:heidi.sullivan@vanderbilt.edu DTSTART:20080513T160000 DTEND:20080513T170000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
