Code Blue Conference 2016
Congratulations for shining a spotlight on the problem of medical malpractice<br />
in our country. The suffering of victims and their families as a result of this<br />
problem is beyond words.<br />
In the United States, with its vast expertise and resources, medical malpractice<br />
should be a thing of the past.<br />
We urge the citizens of this nation to address this issue so that all people,<br />
regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, age or economic status, will receive<br />

Code Blue Conference 2016
On behalf of the Code Blue Conference, Board of Directors,<br />
and Chapter Directors we welcome you to Code Blue<br />
Conference-Breaking the Code of Silence 2016. City of<br />
Galveston, our sponsors, supporters and you have made<br />
this event possible, and we are grateful for your support,<br />
interest and dedication to bringing awareness to medical malpractice issues.<br />
Our theme this year-Code Blue Conference-Breaking the Code of Silence-highlights<br />
how the importance of positive dialogue can become the catalyst that<br />
transforms the medical community into models of success, where quality of<br />
life and informed decisions are balanced.<br />
Medical Malpractice is the third leading cause of death in America, according<br />
to the Journal of Patient Safety. More than 1.5 million people die every year<br />
from infections, communicable diseases, medication errors, inappropriate<br />
treatment, botched procedures, and other preventable mistakes. The broader<br />
Focus is to improve the quality of healthcare, increase accountability, advocate<br />
for medical practitioners who are forced to remain silent, and to affect change<br />
in practices, procedures and legal barriers.<br />
This conference is a unique opportunity for patient safety organizations to<br />
connect with other advocates, doctors, nurses, attorneys, hospital administrators,<br />
and legislatures who work tirelessly to protect the health and safety of all<br />
human beings.<br />
We hope your experience during the Code Blue Conference-Breaking the Code<br />
of Silence 2016 in Galveston, Texas, is rewarding, and we encourage=e you to<br />
learn, share ideas, make connections and let’s make a difference.<br />

2016 CONFERENCE MODERATORS<br />
John James, retired from NASA<br />
since 2014, is a patient safety<br />
activist. The death of his son in<br />
2002 due to uninformed and<br />
unethical medical care in Waco<br />
impelled him to improve<br />
patient safety. He wrote A Sea<br />
of Broken Hearts (2007) about<br />
his son's care and co-edited a<br />
book called The Truth about Big<br />
Medicine (2014). He has written<br />
a monthly newsletter about<br />
patient safety since 2008, has<br />
testified before a Senate<br />
Subcommittee on medical<br />
errors, and in 2013 wrote a<br />
seminal article for the Journal of<br />
Patient Safety in which he<br />
estimated that preventable<br />
adverse events in hospitals<br />
bring premature death to about<br />
400,000 Americans each year.<br />
Lee Tilson received a BA from Ohio<br />
Wesleyan Univ. (Philosophy & Math);<br />
an M.A. from Wayne State Univ.<br />
(Philosophy); and a J.D. from the Univ.<br />
of Michigan Law School. Since graduating<br />
from law school, he has worked<br />
at Sommers, Schwartz. He founded<br />
and chaired the Birth Trauma Litigation<br />
Group of the Association of Trial<br />
Lawyers of America, and has belonged<br />
to the Medical Negligence Information<br />
Group, the HMO Litigation Group, and<br />
once served on the planning committee<br />
for the Profoundly Injured Child<br />
seminar. For ten years he served on<br />
the executive board of the Michigan<br />
Trial Lawyers Association, and has<br />
chaired the Coalition Committee and<br />
the Deposition Bank Committee. He<br />
coordinated two "Protected Your<br />
Rights" conferences for MTLA. He<br />
organized an interdisciplinary conference<br />
on Daubert at Wayne State<br />
University. He developed and ran an<br />
award winning series of New Lawyer<br />
Seminars in Michigan.<br />
