Miracle on the Hudson

What safety lessons can you learn from The Miracle on the Hudson, the emergency landing of a crippled US Airways jetliner in the Hudson River? Plenty, says Stephen Harden, the chairman and CEO of LifeWings Partners (www.saferpatients.com), which helps healthcare facilities adopt the best practices of commercial aviation and other high reliability organizations. Mr. Harden will be the leadoff speaker at our 3rd annual OR Excellence Conference, taking place Oct. 5-7 at San Diego's Manchester Hyatt.
