Patient Safety/Quality Improvement Clerkship

Abstract

Abstract This structured, longitudinal curriculum allows users to perform stepwise work on a Patient Safety/Quality Improvement Project (PS/QI Project) under the tutelage of a quality improvement coach. The curriculum aims to strengthen students' concern for the patient's need to receive quality health care in a safe environment, develop strategies and tools to identify medical errors in patient care and weaknesses in the health care system, and apply those methods to address medical errors and system errors in the health care delivery system. E-learning is not just about dry purely textual content. It's about interaction and fun. The content is communicated through the interaction and engagement of the learner through practice. It was learned that design and development of this e-learning product was time- and resource-intensive, but that the benefits have been significant in terms of reusability, access, and consistency.
