Examine how frequent threats to patient safety are in hospitals, define adverse events, and distinguish preventable from nonpreventable harms, including medication errors and infections, within a culture of safety.
Explore patient safety in healthcare by examining culture of safety, work system design, and the system engineer initiative for patient safety model, focusing on patient, employee, and organizational outcomes.
Explore how a positive patient safety culture and learning from errors and near-misses shape reporting systems, incident reviews, and continuous quality improvement in healthcare organizations.
Discover how healthcare risk management safeguards patients and assets by identifying threats, prioritizing risks, reporting centennial events, and applying root cause analysis to reduce active and latent errors.
Define medication safety and prescribing safety within patient safety. Outline the safe system, error types, and strategies like computerized prescribing and cross-checks.
Learn how to build a culture of safety and use root cause analysis and tools to prevent look-alike and sound-alike medication errors, including tall-man lettering and independent double checks.
and the difference between safe care and unsafe care can be decided in minutes. Over the last two decades and more, we have tried hard to prevent things from going wrong, to detect them quickly if they do, to limit the harm as much as possible, and to learn for the future. In these courses, you'll find essential learning about human factors science, risk mitigation, and teamwork delivered by leading experts in the field. also this course will go through medication safety which is design to healthcare provider involved in the medication use process - e.g., physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, respiratory therapists, etc.
you will also learn the human factors associated with error ,and the different between latent and active errors . we will be discussing the component parts of a culture of safety, including psychological safety, accountability, and teamwork and communication. the importance of using different tools in risk management .We will go through medication safety including high alert medication .
After completing this course ,you will be able to ,summarize why it is essential to improve patient safety. Describe a framework for improving the safety in healthcare .Explain why systemic learning from errors and unintended events is the best respond to ensure patient safety .
