2017 Council on Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (COQIPS) Abstracts Program
- The Council on Quality Improvement and Patient Safety welcomes the submission of abstracts for its program at the 2017 AAP National Conference & Exhibition.
- Pediatricians, both experienced and in-training, in community-based as well as academic practice, generalists and specialists alike are encouraged to submit abstracts related to any aspect of quality improvement and/or patient safety, including those that fall into the following broad categories of implementation, pilot programs, education, collaboration, and evaluation. Sample topics are listed below.
- Abstracts will be accepted for podium (oral) presentations as well as poster presentations. Abstracts submitted may be considered for either format at the discretion of the COQIPS Abstract Review Committee.
- Submission will not preclude future submission for journal publication, nor does prior presentation or acceptance at another medical or scientific meeting disqualify submission to this section. However, prior publication WILL disqualify submission.
- Abstract submissions are expected to have received Institutional Review Board approval or exemption when appropriate.
- Certificates will be given to the Best Poster Presentation and the Best Podium Presentation.
- Presenters of accepted abstracts should notify Laura Ferguson as soon as possible if they must cancel their presentation.
