Improved Patient Safety Through Web-Based Education

国家患者安全基金会建议研究和开发一种标准的患者安全教育方法，该方法将惠及广大受众。该计划的目标是为医疗保健提供者、管理人员和患者提供实用的患者安全科学知识，这些知识可应用于医疗保健系统内的交互。教育机制将是基于网络的基础和针对特定人群的患者安全继续教育，并有一个关于可在网络上获得的患者安全资源的支持数据库。具体的研究目标是开发：--患者安全基础的教育模块；--针对人群和特定麻醉的患者安全的教育模式；--一个基于网络的患者安全教育中心，并加以完善；--向一个--广泛的教育材料网络传播。威斯康星医学院将为教育模块提供认证，这些模块将为实习生、执业临床医生、管理人员和患者服务。两个咨询小组将确保材料的完整性：(1)患者安全专家和(2)受教育者的代表(例如，医学、护理、药学、健康管理和患者)。拟议的倡议是一个为期三年的项目。

The National Patient Safety Foundation proposes to research and develop a standard method of patient safety education that will reach large audiences. The goal of this program is to equip healthcare providers, administrators, and patients with practical patient safety science knowledge that can be applied to interactions within the healthcare system. The education mechanism will be a web-based basic and population- specific, patient safety continuing education with a supporting database on web-available patient safety resources. The specific research objectives are to develop: --an education module for the basics of patient safety; --an education model for population and anesthesia-specific patient safety; --a web-based patient safety education center, and refine it; and disseminate to a --a broad-based network for the educational materials. The Medical College of Wisconsin will provide accreditation for the educational modules that will be designed to serve trainees, practicing clinicians, administrators, and patients. Two advisory groups will ensure the integrity of the material: (1) experts in patient safety and (2) representatives of those receiving the education (e.g., in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, health administration, and patients). The proposed initiative is a three-year project.
