The Patient Safety Education Project: An International Collaboration
2008
The Patient Safety Education Project (PSEP) aims to advance the shift to patient-centered, systems-based care through high-impact education of health care workers using a superior “trainthe-trainer” dissemination mechanism. Employing a core curriculum that includes practice improvement toolkits, PSEP develops “safety trainers,” who teach patient safety and foster its practice among “end-learners” in their own institutions. From 2005 to 2006, PSEP gathered support from leaders and identified learning topics. In 2007, the core curriculum was developed. In 2008, PSEP will be piloted before proceeding to rollouts in the United States and Australia. PSEP will be a course-driven college without walls that works with partner organizations; it will use a nonprofit, cost-recovery, sustainable economic model. Evaluation of PSEP’s impact will measure change in attitudes, knowledge, and simulated skills at our courses. We will also evaluate practice change, patient outcomes, and practice norms in service delivery settings.
