Overview
Cleveland Clinic established this one-of-a-kind healthcare forum to explore the evolving social dynamics shaping patient care, caregiving and clinical workspaces. Engage with industry experts in meaningful discussions and get essential takeaways on managing societal factors that influence healthcare delivery beyond physical care and disease management. S.H.I.E.L.D.® (Safety in Healthcare Through Information, Education and Learning Development) 2025 will focus on safety, emergency preparedness, care equity, mental well-being, social health determinants and more.
In healthcare, ensuring patient safety remains a paramount challenge, often due to professional practice gaps. These gaps can stem from outdated methods, insufficient training, and a lack of integration of innovative solutions. By adopting cutting-edge technologies, enhancing educational opportunities, and fostering continuous professional development, we can significantly reduce these gaps. Innovations such as electronic health records, simulation-based training, and advanced monitoring systems can transform safety practices. Concurrently, a robust framework for continuous education ensures that healthcare professionals remain adept with the latest advancements. Together, these efforts pave the way for a safer, more efficient healthcare system.
