MITSS President/Executive Director Graduate Of HRET/NPSF Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship
MITSS is pleased and proud to announce that its President and Executive Director, Linda K. Kenney, has recently graduated from the prestigious Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship. This year long Fellowship is sponsored by the Health Research & Educational Trust (HRET) and the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), in partnership with the Health Forum, the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE), the American Society of Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM), and the Society for Hospital Medicine (SHM).
Linda Kenney has the further distinction of being the first consumer representative to complete the Fellowship. "HRET and partners have shown a true commitment to patient and family-centered care by having me, a patient advocate, participate in this program. The experience has expanded my knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding patient safety that will enable me to continue to be an effective partner with health care," Kenney said.
The Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship program is an intensive educational experience that develops leadership skills and advances patient safety issues in health care. Through the program, Leadership Fellows are exposed to a wide variety of tools, strategies, and methodologies in the field of patient safety.
MITSS is a non-profit corporation headquartered in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, whose mission is "To Support Healing and Restore Hope" to patients, families, and clinicians who have been affected by adverse medical events. Don't forget to "SAVE THE DATE" for our Fifth Annual Dinner and Fundraiser to be held on November 9, 2006, from 6 to 10 pm at the Seaport Hotel in Boston.
