The ACS Quality and Safety Conference is the premier forum for learning about the latest developments in quality and safety, best practices, and actionable items that you can implement in your own institutions. This event brings together healthcare professionals from around the world to discuss opportunities to improve surgical patient care. The theme of this year's conference is "The Patient Voice" and you will hear from patients, surgeons, physicians, and other healthcare professionals who directly and indirectly influence patient outcomes. Our goal is to achieve high-quality care for our patients that reflects their priorities and individual health goals.
