Date:10/30/2008

iser Foundation Hospitals; Julianne Morath, Chief Quality and Safety Officer, Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Dr. Dennis O'Leary, President Emeritus, The Joint Commission; Paul O'Neill, Former Chairman and CEO, Alcoa, and 72nd Secretary of the U.S. Treasury; Dr. Paul Gluck, Immediate Past Chair, National Patient Safety Foundation Board of Directors; and Diane Pinakiewicz, President, National Patient Safety Foundation.

Ms. Pinakiewicz praised the Institute's leadership for "their unwavering commitment to creating a safer heath care system, applying their extensive experiences, expertise, and insights to not only create a vision for the future, but to develop actionable recommendations to influence change."

Reform in Medical Education, the first concept addressed by the Institute, is the subject of a Roundtable comprised of Institute members and invited experts. "Medical education in the United States is heavily focused on the acquisition of scientific and clinical facts," commented Dr. Leape, "but provides students with little of the knowledge and skills they need to communicate and work effectively with patients and colleagues."

Recommendations and calls to action from the Roundtable will be issued in an Institute white paper, providing the strategic leverage necessary to influence the system, create change, and offer needed focus and direction for those working in the field.

The Lucian Leape Institute is a program of the National Patient Safety Foundation(R), an independent not-for-profit
