Patient Safety Certificate Program | ASHRM26 Pre-Conference Event

This course is designed for patient safety and risk management professionals to identify and deploy patient safety principles and to use analytical tools to support improved patient care and organizational outcomes.

The certificate program uses a "blended learning" approach: attendees begin with didactic online learning modules reviewing core patient safety topics prior to the two-day in-person sessions. During the in-person sessions participants will discuss patient safety topics and tools and learn how to apply multiple performance improvement and patient safety strategies, earning 18 hours of continuing education credits.

Participants will collaborate with colleagues and faculty to complete a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) matrix on current patient safety issues, participate in an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) exercise, receive guidance on crisis communication & disclosures, conduct a RCA (Root Cause Analysis) case study, discuss creating & sustaining change and share strategies to shift the organization's focus from one of reacting to events to proactively preventing harm and events from affecting patients, families and potential liability losses.

Upon completion of the Patient Safety Certificate Program, attendees will earn 18 ANCC contact hours and ASHRM credits, which can be applied to the CPHRM renewal.

• Patient Safety Past, Present, and Future
