USF Health Morsani Center for Advanced Healthcare

As a neonatologist developing a passion for patient safety was an organic development over my career. Working in the NICU it's an orchestrated event with multiple competing tasks needing to happen at the same time. Creating order amongst this is how we deliver the best care possible to our patients, but also implementing standards which can be spread through out USF Health to give the community the best care we can.
