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能够覆盖大量受众的患者安全教育标准方法。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，这些知识可以应用于医疗保健系统内的互动。教育机制将是一个基于网络的基本和特定人群的患者安全继续教育，并提供关于网络可用患者安全资源的支持数据库。具体的研究目标是开发：--患者安全基础知识的教育模块;--人群和麻醉特定患者安全的教育模式;--基于网络的患者安全教育中心，并对其进行完善;并传播到--基础广泛的教育材料网络。威斯康星州医学院将提供认证的教育模块，将被设计为服务于学员，执业临床医生，管理人员和病人。两个咨询小组将确保材料的完整性：（1）患者安全专家和（2）接受教育的代表（例如，医学、护理、药学、卫生管理和患者）。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.
