 Well, good morning to everybody. My name is Dan Cole. I'm a past president of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, or the ASA. I'm also a practicing physician at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. I'm pleased to be here to announce ASA's commitment to the Patient Safety Movement Foundation and its mission to eliminate preventable deaths by 2020. ASA and the specialty of anesthesiology have long been a leading medical specialty addressing the issue of patient safety. We were the first medical specialty to champion patient safety as a specific focus. In 1982, ASA established its first committee devoted to the issue, ASA's Committee on Patient Safety and Risk Management. Further recognition of anesthesia's safety efforts came in the landmark 1999 report to air as human from the Institute of Medicine and in a 2005 front-page article in the Wall Street Journal, which singled out anesthesiology's accomplishments in making anesthesia safer for our citizens. Just last year, we re-evaluated and took a hard look at our vision and values as it looks forward to the future. Interestingly, the ASA's vision includes the words to be a world leader in proving health through innovation in quality and safety. As one of the ASA's core values and it is patient safety, so truly, the safety of our patients is paramount and integral to the very fiber of our organization. As a committed organization, ASA will demonstrate its support to the Patient Safety Movement Foundation by conducting the following. Describing and promoting the mission of zero by 2020. Encouraging physician anesthesiologists and other anesthesia providers to implement patient safety improvements that will indeed reduce preventable patient deaths and to work diligently to eliminate them. Disseminating the actual patient safety solutions or APSS to physician anesthesiologists and a wide spectrum of other anesthesia providers as appropriate worldwide, annually and designating individuals from the ASA to join appropriate patient safety movement Foundation's actual patient safety solution work groups and contribute to the development of anesthesia related patient safety topics. We at the ASA are honored to support ongoing improvement in patient safety, a long side of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation. We thank you all for what you are doing. Thank you very much.
