Hello, I'm Dr. Mary Geary and I'm going
to tell you about this course that I'm
the faculty for.
This is a course called Certified Nursing Leader
in Patient Safety and Air Prevention.
I have been in nursing for a very
long time and most of my career has
been focused on quality process improvement, patient safety,
and medical air prevention.
This programme, Certified Nurse Leader in Patient Safety
and Air Prevention, includes 10 modules or sessions
on different topics related to patient safety and
strategies to use to prevent medical errors from
harming patients.
Each of the modules are one hour and
consist of three different sections as well as
a short quiz.
The topics discussed include where the origins of
patient safety including early patient safety research, key
patient safety experts such as James Reason and
his Swiss cheese model, contributing causes of medical
errors and response to errors are discussed, as
well as different ways to analyse such events
like root cause analysis and failure mode effects
analysis.
The last two modules talk about how to
set up a quality patient safety programme within
your organisation and also in terms of an
oversight committee that reviews an organisation's quality patient
safety activities and key measures based on the
organisation's strategic goals as well as preventing errors
and keeping patients safe.
A final exam is given at the end
of the course and a passing score is
required to achieve this certification.
Thank you.
