10th International Congress on Quality and Patient Safety

7 April 2022

Quality and patient safety promoters and pioneers.

For the tenth consecutive year, ABC Medical Center held its International Congress on Quality and Patient Safety, a forum to share initiatives to improve patient care quality and safety.

With great participation from the medical community and health professionals, the Congress addressed current strategic issues and advances, with lectures from national and international professors.

The strategic themes addressed were:

  • Use of information
  • Medication
  • Human capital
  • Infection control
  • Environment care
  • Better practices

More than 500 people attended the congress virtually.

It is the only quality congress in Mexico endorsed by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM, for its Spanish acronym).

Like every year, an important part of the program is the open papers section, in which all organizations can present the implementation of an improvement in their organization and show its results in their hospitals. The best 3 papers received awards.

1st place

Decrease in perinatal mortality through the standardization of safe care.

MiRed IPS, Barranquilla, Colombia

2nd place

Health Sciences Division, University of Quintana Roo, Mexico.

3rd place

Throughout these 10 years, the Congress has demonstrated its maturity and importance in national and international health.

ABC Medical Center thanks all attendees, speakers, and organizers for their support and commitment to improving health care quality and safety for the patients’ benefit.
