Thanks to proactive and interprofessional work across the 平特五不中 health network, the Canadian Patient Safety Institute鈥檚 recently released second edition of The Safety Competencies includes a case study of the 平特五不中 Faculty Development Patient Safety Series.
鈥淭he Safety Competencies: Enhancing Patient Safety Across the Health Professions鈥� (2nd edition, 2020) is designed to improve safety and quality improvement within health and social services education in order to achieve a culture of safety across the healthcare continuum.
鈥淪afety is Everybody鈥檚 Business: Applying and Teaching Patient Safety Competencies鈥� is a patient safety workshop series developed here at 平特五不中. The series is now featured as one of three case studies from across Canada, showcasing effective use of the national Competencies framework.
鈥淚t is rewarding to have this recognition from a national organization, and it鈥檚 equally rewarding to know that we are influencing patient safety education at a national level,鈥� said Mr. Mark Daly, one of the founders of the workshop series.
Safety is Everybody鈥檚 Business
The , which celebrated its fifth anniversary last year, occurs annually over one and a half days and is open to any faculty and staff from 平特五不中鈥檚 clinical network.
The interactive workshop is designed to give participants an understanding of six competencies developed by the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI), along with practical guidance on how to apply and teach these competencies in clinical settings.
The CPSI learned that the workshop series was applying the original national competency framework and decided to feature the workshop as a case study in the latest edition.
Using the Safety Competencies for faculty development as opposed to undergraduate or graduate education is one unique feature of the workshop series.
The workshop series is also unique in its interprofessional emphasis; participants represent a variety of professions including clinicians, educators, leaders and administrators, which insures a rich interprofessional mix.
The Patient Safety Working Group that leads the series is also very interprofessional, drawing from diverse professions and 平特五不中 Offices, along with representation from three of 平特五不中鈥檚 clinical partners (see below).
鈥淲ithout the collaboration of all these individuals we could not have launched the series and eventually have received this recognition at a national level,鈥� said Mr. Daly. 鈥淚 am so proud of our working group.鈥�
Congratulations to the Patient Safety Working Group!
