Restrictions on in-person meetings were going to hamper the ability for the well-established Family Advisory Board (FAB) for our pediatric hospital to continue meeting unless a virtual meeting platform was introduced.

Patient Experience Journal
Over the past 17 years since the release of the Institute of Medicine report ‘To Err is Human’,1 health services and agencies around the world have increasingly focused on improving the safety and quality of health care.

This clinical approach links to the Hippocratic Oath which includes the promise "to abstain from doing harm".

In doing so we can change the nature of healthcare and …
