The DOM was extremely well represented at the 2016 Patient Safety Summit from the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality on Friday, October 14. As part of the summit, health care providers across all of Johns Hopkins Medicine submitted video entries to answer the question "What does patient safety look like to you?" Four of the nine entries came straight out of the DOM including the winner, "Clabsi Stop Anthem" from the Hospitalist Unit.
