Perioperative Orthopedic Quality and Safety-Quarterly Newsletter
May | 2019

Welcome to the 18th newsletter from the orthopedics quality team! We are excited to share that on April 26th, New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center hosted the fourth annual Spine Safety Summit, highlighting safety and quality advances with a focus on optimizing outcomes and transforming patient care. We had an incredible keynote speech by Dr. Steven Ondra, on “Safety at the Macroeconomic Level” and we’re excited to include some thoughts on the event.
