The long-term objective of this proposal is to create a Center for Improving Patient Safety located in Nashville, TN as a collaboration among four institutions: Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System and the National Patient Safety Foundation. Project goals are: (1) to use and modify existing safety and medical error reporting systems and develop new systems to study the typology and epidemiology of errors, (2) to examine differences is these systems between populations and delivery systems that differ in patient race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status, (3) to develop systems for improving patient safety, (4) to examine the organization and cultural issues that facilitate or impede error reporting and safety improvement, (5) to develop educational programs that will reduce errors and improve safety, (6) and to design, implement, analyze and disseminate the results from a pilot project addressing the epidemiology of medical errors with a focus on a minority population, (7) host a site visit from AHRQ to review the host year's work and assist in the design of the pilot project, (8) in Phase II of the project (years 2 and 3), implement the pilot project, (9) analyze the pilot project data, interpret the results and develop a report of the findings, (10) develop further projects and seek to become a center of excellence in patient safety research and education. The project builds on long-standing relationships between Vanderbilt University, the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System and Meharry Medical College and takes advantage of their collaborations in the Center for Health Services Research, Center for Clinical Improvement, Institute for Community Health, the national Quality Scholars Program, the Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center and introduces an important new collaboration with the National Patient Safety Foundation.

该提案的长期目标是在田纳西州纳什维尔建立一个改善患者安全的中心，作为四个机构之间的合作：范德比尔特大学、梅哈里医学院、弗吉尼亚州田纳西流域医疗保健系统和国家患者安全基金会。项目目标是：（1）使用和修改现有的安全和医疗错误报告系统，并开发新的系统来研究错误的类型学和流行病学，（2）检查这些系统在患者种族、民族和社会经济地位不同的人群和输送系统之间的差异，（3）开发用于改善患者安全的系统，（4）检查促进或阻碍错误报告和安全改进的组织和文化问题，（5）制定减少错误和提高安全的教育计划，（6）设计，实施，分析和传播一个以少数民族为重点的医疗差错流行病学试点项目的结果，（7）接待AHRQ的现场访问，以审查东道国的工作，并协助设计试点项目，（8）在项目的第二阶段（第二年和第三年），实施试点项目，（9）分析试点项目数据，解释结果并编写调查结果报告，（10）开发更多项目，并寻求成为患者安全研究和教育的卓越中心。该项目建立在范德比尔特大学，弗吉尼亚州田纳西流域医疗保健系统和梅哈里医学院之间的长期关系的基础上，并利用他们在卫生服务研究中心，临床改善中心，社区卫生研究所，国家质量学者计划，老年研究，教育和临床中心，并介绍了一个重要的新的合作与国家病人安全基金会。
