25 Years of Action: Reflecting on To Err is Human and the Leapfrog Legacy, featuring Leah Binder and others.

Join us for a powerful panel marking 25 years of progress since the founding of The Leapfrog Group, born out of the landmark To Err is Human report. Published in 1999, the report sparked a national movement for patient safety and accountability. This conversation brings together leaders in health care quality, policy and patient advocacy to reflect on the strides made, examine persistent challenges and reignite the call to action for a safer, more transparent health care system.

 

 

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming health care—but what does it mean for patient safety? This panel will explore how AI is being used to reduce errors, improve outcomes, and support clinical decision-making, while also addressing the risks that come with emerging technologies. Experts in health tech and patient advocacy will discuss how to ensure that AI serves the goal at the heart of Leapfrog’s mission: safe, high-quality care for every patient.
