 Hi, my name is Howard Burgendoll. I'm an attorney, a health physicist, and a certified professional in patient safety. I specialize in safety culture. I learned about safety culture during a 20-year period where I operated and managed nuclear power plants. It became very clear that safe, reliable operations depended on a strong safety culture. So 17 years ago, I switched over and focused all my efforts towards safety culture improvements in healthcare. I'm very excited to be an ambassador to the patient safety movement. Since the patient safety movement has moved on to the scene, much needed guidance, direction, and support has been emerging, and I look forward to a long relationship with the patient safety movement. Thank you.
