Resource Summary: The Renaye James Healthcare Advisors’ Learning Collaborative will cover various aspects of safe patient care, including safety measure/metric identification, data collection, leadership commitment, facility requirements, regulatory requirements, external collaborations, and governance involvement. Federal, state, local regulations, and accrediting organizations require the delivery of safe medical care for patients, staff, and visitors. These sessions will also illustrate how the Board of Directors promotes a culture that prioritizes safety and includes safety metrics in its strategic oversight. Participants will identify a hypothetical patient safety event that could occur at their health center and will be asked to draft a plan for investigation and response.

Resource Details: The content will reinforce how focusing on patient safety by all departments and staff positively impacts patients and the organization. Participants will learn how effective use of huddles can improve patients safety and how ongoing, data-driven decisions by informative reporting and surveillance can be helpful in improving patient safety.
