February 3, 2014 – Medical error and its consequences will be explored at the first event in a new series of “Conversations in Bioethics,” established by Georgetown’s Kennedy Institute of Ethics (KIE), one of the world's premier bioethics institutes.
A study in the September 2013 issue of the Journal of Patient Safety suggests the number of patients who go to the hospital for care and suffer preventable harm is between 210,000 and more than 400,000 a year.
This year’s Conversation in Bioethics event, taking place Feb. 6 in Gaston Hall, will feature Beth Daley Ullem (F’95), a nationally recognized advocate for patient safety and quality; Dr. John James, NASA’s former chief toxicologist and founder, Patient Safety America; and Dr. Brian Goldman, emergency physician, author and host of Canadian Broadcasting Company’s “White Coat, Black Art.”
