Workshop on Consumer Engagement in Selected Patient Safety Topics

描述(由申请者提供)：美国消费者参与选定的患者安全主题研讨会以新的倡议和工具为基础，让消费者成为合作伙伴，并将这些资源应用于告知五个紧急患者安全问题。这是一次研究开发活动，其结果将被广泛传播。研讨会将于2008年第一季度在伊利诺伊州芝加哥的西北纪念医院(NMH)设施中举行。这份意见书是由消费者促进患者安全组织(CAPS)与世界卫生组织(WHO)患者患者安全计划(PFPS)合作提出的。其他召集人合作伙伴包括NMH和患者安全伙伴关系(P4PS)。研讨会的中心目标是介绍五项有赖于消费者与医疗保健提供者和政策制定者的接触才能取得最佳成功的倡议：(1)报告医疗差错和/或差错；(2)有助于医疗系统故障的根本原因分析；(3)准备患者教育材料，支持关于医疗安全风险和参与管理这些风险的机会的患者教育；(4)将患者经验纳入研究和制定研究议程；以及(5)患者/消费者参与他们自己或亲人的护理的规划、安全和有效性。这五个领域中每一个领域的议事程序和行动计划都将是研讨会的产品。研讨会采用了一种称为“鉴赏性探究”(AI)的小组流程方法，旨在利用学员过去在个人和专业方面取得的成功来应对挑战，并创造鼓舞人心的积极变化。人工智能在人、他们的组织和他们周围的相关世界中寻找并建立最好的东西，从而促进合作和振兴的关系，这可能是变革性的。思想领袖指出，未能让消费者参与患者安全工作是拖延该领域进展的一个因素。到目前为止，消费者参与安全工作最引人注目的驱动力是世界卫生组织的患者安全(PFPS)计划，该计划成立于2006年，是世界卫生组织世界患者安全联盟的原始行动领域。美国消费者参与选定的患者安全主题研讨会将是第一次专门关注美国患者、提供者和患者安全问题的PFPS活动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Workshop on Consumer Engagement in Selected Patient Safety Topics in the United States builds on new initiatives and tools to engage consumers as partners and applies these resources to informing five emergent patient safety issues. This is a research development event, the findings of which will be widely disseminated. The Workshop will be conducted in Chicago, IL at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) facilities during the first quarter of 2008. This submission is made by Consumers Advancing Patient Safety (CAPS), a 501(c)(3) organization, in collaboration with the World Health Organization's (WHO) Patients for Patient Safety Program (PFPS). Other Convener partners include NMH and Partnership for Patient Safety (p4ps). The central objective of the Workshop is to inform five initiatives that depend on consumer engagement with healthcare providers and policymakers to be optimally successful: (1) Reporting medical errors and/or near misses; (2) Contributing to root cause analyses of medical system failures; (3) Preparing patient education materials and supporting patient education about healthcare safety risks and opportunities for engagement in managing those risks; (4) Incorporating patient experiences into research and formulation of research agendas; and (5) Patient/consumer engagement in the planning, safety and effectiveness of their own care or that of their loved ones. Proceedings and action plans in each of these five areas will be Workshop products. The Workshop utilizes a group process methodology known as Appreciative Inquiry (AI), designed to use participants' past personal and professional successes in addressing challenges and creating inspired, positive change. AI searches for and builds on the best in people, their organizations and the relevant world around them, thereby fostering collaboration and revitalized relationships that can be transformative. Thought leaders cite the failure to engage consumers in patient safety work as one factor in delaying progress in the field. The most notable driver of consumer engagement in safety work to date is the World Health Organization's Patients for Patient Safety (PFPS) program, established in 2006 as an original action area of the WHO's World Alliance for Patient Safety. The Workshop on Consumer Engagement in Selected Patient Safety Topics in the United States will be the first PFPS event focused specifically on patients, providers and patient safety issues in the United States.
