Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
A ‘culture of safety’ is an often-heard term in clinical settings. Most patients require complex care, with many interprofessional teams working together. Large patient volumes, an expectation for rapid delivery of care, the consumer’s ability to choose providers, and government reimbursements all drive acute care facilities to invest in preventing or reducing errors. Improving safety is beneficial to the patient primarily, with less risk of injury or death, but also to the facility and staff, improving retention and job satisfaction, with the added benefit of extensive cost-savings.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the identifying factors and benefits to a culture of safety.
  • Discuss organizations responsible for driving patient safety changes on a national level.
  • Evaluate barriers to patient safety, and how these can be reduced or eliminated.
