Register Today for 2023 ACS Quality & Safety Conference

June 15, 2023

The 2023 ACS Quality & Safety Conference, July 10–13 in Minneapolis, MN, 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. Several sessions will focus on cancer care and feature ACS Cancer Programs leaders.

Kicking off the conference on July 10, CoC Education Committee Chair Laurie Kirstein, MD, FACS, and a multidisciplinary panel of experts will come together to present “Building a Solution Shop to Break Barriers to Cancer Care.” Panelists will engage in interactive conversation about the national Quality Improvement (QI) Breaking Barriers project and discuss patient, provider, and system level challenges and solutions to eliminating barriers to high quality cancer care.

Don’t miss the welcome reception later that evening held at the famous Mill City Museum in downtown Minneapolis.

On July 11, NAPBC Chair Katharine Yao, MD, FACS, will join a panel of surgeons and researchers to discuss the two-year national PROMPT study in a session titled “How QI and Patient Interviews Can Make your Practice PROMPT.” This session describes the process of how NAPBC programs and patient voices came together to focus on timely access to cancer care.
