Education

Preventable medical errors are the fourteenth leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Healthcare is a complex environment rich with potential for errors as human factors are central to the delivery of care. We believe the majority of these medical errors are due to faults in the systems and processes of healthcare delivery. With our educational services you will be equipped with the tools to become a systems-oriented thinker who recognizes that systems and processes contribute to the harm caused by care delivery.

The Power of Shared Learning

The Safety Learning System® is a significant shift from traditional review as it broadens the focus of case review and narrows findings through consensus during multidisciplinary and multispecialty meetings.

"We are identifying opportunities that, because there was no negative impact on the patient, may not have ever been recorded or reported. We all know, it may not impact one patient at that particular time but it’s important to note because we don’t know what’s going to happen with the next patient."

Tony Calabria MA, CPHQ, CSSBB

"What we had noticed over a period of time was that the depth of the case was being lost and so when there were opportunities, those were often missed because we focused solely on the patient dying rather than what we could have learned from the death of that patient."

Valerie Craig MAOM, RN, BSN

"Coming as an engineer into healthcare, I am always looking for ways to teach people about how to use data to make impactful decisions and to further the progress of healthcare improvement. Using SLS, it has allowed me to leverage the engineering principles that I want to teach in a way that is already packaged for clinicians."

Shira Wolf BSE

"We are actually learning together from a department and division perspective but also from an interdisciplinary perspective and I think that people see that their lens did not provide them the biggest picture."
