Join us for a live Tweet Chat on Thursday, February 27th, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm EST

Supporting patients and families following medical harm -- it's the right thing to do, but is healthcare missing the boatMITSS held an educational program this past November dealing with this important topic.  Click here, then scroll down if you would like to view the presenters' slides from that program.  For those of you who were able to attend, we'd like to keep the conversation going.  For those who were unable to be there, this is a great opportunity to join in.

Whether you are a patient or family member, clinician and healthcare provider, healthcare administrator, or anyone who has been touched by medical harm, we'd like to hear from you.  Linda Kenney, MITSS's Founder and Executive Director, and Susan LaFarge, PsyD, Clinical Psychologist, will be our guests for this special event.

To participate in the conversation on Twitter, search for the hashtag #mitss, and you may find it helpful to use a tweet chat service like Tweetchat.com or Tweetdeck.com.  As we get closer to the chat date, we will be sending out a list of specific topic items.

So, mark your calendars - Thursday, February 27th, 2014, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.   We're looking forward to it!
