PMO 1034 Patient Safety for Health Systems Leaders and Executives
The overall objective for the seminar series is to introduce and familiarize the student with the knowledge and information acquisition skills that are required to interpret and develop understandable and practical system based quality healthcare policy with a focus on the underlying safety components. The seminar will progress from definitions, through the dynamics of complicated and complex systems, a discussion of the various cognitive and non-cognitive causation of unintended outcomes (errors), the techniques for the reactive and proactive collection of system and human function information required for institutional learning and quality policy development, and the governance approaches resulting from and supported by policy that facilitates the delivery of high reliability quality care.
