Patient Safety Specialization

Patient harms that may be avoided, such as medical mistakes and healthcare-related consequences, are a global public health concern. Furthermore, patients are routinely denied medicines and interventions that have been shown to enhance their results. These flaws are usually caused by systemic issues, such as communication failures, poor cooperation, and poorly planned care systems, to name a few.

The Patient Safety & Quality Leadership Specialization delves into the concepts and strategies that are employed in healthcare process improvement. Participants who complete the course will gain a system-wide perspective on safety and quality issues, as well as solutions for changing culture, increasing teamwork, managing change, and assessing performance. They will also be in charge of all parts of a patient safety and/or quality improvement project, using the methodologies presented in the specialization's seven courses.

Based on actual scenarios that occur in medical and clinical settings, learners will apply real-world tactics, tools, and procedures to handle diverse patient safety and quality challenges. In order to properly handle patient safety problems, they will also be expected to use cross-disciplinary thinking.
