Extended Deadline for Paper Submission and Conference Attendance Application

to the Conference Communicating Medical Error 2013 (COME)

deadline 16 September 2012





Title: COME, Communicating Medical Error
Target participants: scholars and practitioners working on the field of 
communication, medicine, public health and health policy, psychology, 
linguistics, philosophy, ethics, economics, and law.
Affiliation: Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, Switzerland
Venue: Monte Verità-Ascona, Switzerland
Date: March 18-22, 2013
Website: http://www.come.usi.ch

The conference invites 120 leading scholars from across the globe with 
diverse disciplinary backgrounds onto a common scientific platform to 
discuss current and future research directions on the prevention, 
intervention, analysis, and disclosure of medical errors.

In the United States, more than 1.3 million people are harmed every year 
by medical treatments that are intended to help them. More than two 
thirds of these events result from preventable human error. Studies in 
Europe and Australia have recorded similar results, suggesting that 
medical errors are an international epidemiology.



The COME Conference will be the first of its kind in Europe:

1.      It offers the full picture of Medical Error communication 
covering all stages of the process (prevention, identification, 
analysis, reporting, correction and disclosure of medical errors);

2.      It is international and interdisciplinary. International 
well-recognized experts and scholars from a variety of academic 
disciplines will be gathered to share their latest research on medical 
errors; and

3.      It is a scientific conference which will offer a unique platform 
to disseminate latest findings and establish a global, interdisciplinary 
roadmap for future research on the role of communication in the pre- and 
post-hoc of medical errors.



If you have any questions, comments or doubts, please do not hesitate to 
contact me, and I will be happy to answer you,


COME 2013 team,
