Patient Safety Fundamentals 2024
This session will walk through the definitions of adverse events and medical error. Utilizing a case-based format, the attendee will understand the role of 5 Whys, Fishbone diagram, Process Flow Map and Root Cause Analysis to evaluate a case. There will also be an initial review of diagnostic error and cognitive bias to help the attendee understand the role that individuals play in medical error to connect to the next session of Advanced Patient Safety. Finally, utilizing a “strength of interventions” scale, the attendee will understand the many choices for interventions one has to design a safer system.
