Failing is an important issue for businesses. Embracing it moves markets, insures consumer safety, and spares unnecessary investment. Are the aviation and nuclear power industries the only industries to truly embrace it and share learnings to fortify standards and best practices? Can healthcare do the same?

Telehealth and Medicine Today (THMT) is pleased to spotlight the critical necessity to face failure personally and professionally. Do we place too much emphasis on failure avoidance vs. failure recovery? Risk management hallmarks prioritize protecting the “brand” over sharing the experience.

What are the principles for succeeding at failure? What models can we use? How does this impact burnout, workforce turnover, leadership vulnerability, and conducting meaningful retrospectives? Join our distinguished speakers representing health system, research community, and enterprise in this thoughtful and reflective discussion.
