EMED 5470 - SENIOR ELECTIVE IN QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY


Minimum Credits: 0
Maximum Credits: 0
The quality and patient safety elective is designed for the motivated learner with self-study modules and learning activities facilitated by preceptors remotely. The course complements busy months of interviewing and travel through the use of on-line media, case reviews, videos, podcasts and blog discussions. Instead of in-person meetings, course directors employ on-line meetings and electronic touch points to ensure progress throughout the course. Learning in this course is asynchronous, so timing is at the convenience of the individual learner. Participants will spend at least 2 hours per day completing required on-line learning modules. In addition, students will work independently to research, understand and create a root cause analysis and a rapid process improvement plan. Students will review the RCA and QI plans of their peers, provide feedback and participate in discussion of their work.
