The WSMA established the William O. Robertson Patient Safety Award several years ago to recognize and share innovative patient safety initiatives in the ambulatory care setting. The award was named after WSMA past-president, William O. Robertson, MD, who was a champion for patient safety, risk management, and quality improvement throughout his long and distinguished career.

To have your patient safety initiative considered for the William O. Roberson, MD Patient Safety Award, please submit your information by June 30, 2017. The award will be presented at the 2017 WSMA Annual Meeting, which will be held in Seattle on October 14-15.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jessica Martinson, the WSMA's director of clinical education and professional development at jessica@wsma.org or 206-956-3628.
