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.

这项提议的长期目标是在田纳西州纳什维尔创建一个改善患者安全中心，由范德比尔特大学、梅哈里医学院、退伍军人管理局田纳西谷医疗系统和国家患者安全基金会四家机构合作。项目目标是：(1)使用和修改现有的安全和医疗差错报告系统，并开发新的系统来研究差错的类型和流行病学，(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交付系统之间的差异，(3)开发改善患者安全的系统，(4)检查促进或阻碍差错报告和安全改进的组织和文化问题，(5)制定将减少差错和提高安全性的教育方案，(6)并设计、实施、分析和传播以少数群体为重点的医疗差错流行病学试点项目的结果，(7)主持AHRQ的实地访问，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2年和第3年)，实施试点项目，(9)分析试点项目的数据，解释结果并编写调查结果报告，(10)制定进一步的项目，并努力成为患者安全研究和教育方面的卓越中心。该项目建立在范德比尔特大学、退伍军人事务部田纳西谷医疗保健系统和Meharry医学院之间的长期关系基础上，并利用了他们在医疗服务研究中心、临床改进中心、社区健康研究所、国家优质学者计划、老年研究、教育和临床中心的合作，并引入了与国家患者安全基金会的重要新合作。
