Patient Safety Week 2012: Informing the Journey, Not Changing the Destination by Jim Conway »

“Our destination appears clear—high-quality, safe, and continuously improving health and healthcare centered on, and in partnership with, the patient, the family, the public, and their community. So say the Affordable Care Act, CMS, IHI, WHO, Picker, NQF, IPFCC, Planetree, Joint Commission, IOM, MA Health Reform, NPSF, Health Care for All, ethical practice, extensive research, evidence from the field, and more.

“Dale is an inspired speaker and organizer advocating for the interests of patients in health care systems. She first inspired me by her presence and telling of her story at a national meeting of the Institute for Health Care Improvement. Following that meeting she became a valued resource in helping our health system design and implement full disclosure policies that truly meet patient and family needs at the time of disclosing errors and harm. Her integrity, poise, and core commitment help keep this health care executive thinking about the 'right stuff''. I am forever grateful to her.” ~Dr. Mark Novotny, Chief Medical Officer

"Dale is a nationally recognized champion of patient safety. If there is one person who embodies the resilience of the human spirit and the transformation of a personal tragedy into a powerful force for health care improvement, it would be her. She is both tireless and inspiring in her mission, building bridges of communication between patients, families, and healthcare providers through her work with Justin’s Hope. I am proud to call her a mentor, a colleague, and a friend." ~Tricia Pil MD, Pediatrician

"Dale should speak to all who provide direct care, she was amazing."~NJHA Partnership for Patients Medication Safety conference attendee

"I cannot fathom walking a mile in your shoes, but the emotional intensity for me was as real as it was when we first met – and that my friend is you delivering such a heart-felt story!." ~Maureen McKee NJ Council Teaching/Children's Hospitals
