Description of CME Course
In this course, we’re going to describe and advocate a patient-centered approach to use when things go wrong. This approach to adverse events and medical error centers on the needs of the patient, but it is also the best way to address the needs of a caregiver in the wake of an adverse event. Finally, it will introduce a systematic response to error called root cause analysis (RCA), the goal of which is to learn from adverse events and prevent them from happening in the future.
The IHI Open School offers a range of online courses created by world-renowned faculty in improvement capability, patient safety, triple aim for populations, person- and family-centered care, leadership, and quality, cost, and value. Each course takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete and consists of three to five lessons that end with assessments.
Diplomate Engagement
Learners must complete the course and achieve a passing score of 75% on each post-lesson assessment to receive a certificate of completion.
