All together, this course will get the participant 4.0 CEUs.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This learning program will provide an introduction to the safety concerns facing health care systems today, including data and background on the magnitude of the problem, error reduction and prevention, and root cause analysis. Processes to design blameless systems, which promote patient safety as well as ways to analyze data, will be reviewed. Current industry changes including the Florida Hospital Association (FHA) models, new Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) patient safety standards and presidential and congressional activities are identified.
Culture changes, analysis tools, improvement approaches, reporting processes, and risk management issues will be discussed. Finally, individual practitioner issues related to medical errors such as medication errors, surgical errors and other aspects will be reviewed. These topics will describe ways to promote safety and improve outcomes for patients including special populations. Patients and family participation and care will be highlighted as a key component to safety.
