*TS: – The State of Patient Safety: Q & A with Saul Weingart, MD, PhD[®] [PEARL: GB, LDR, PI] The Source, March 2014, Vol 12, #3, Pg 1 JCs1403_B2 In this piece, a physician who is a national patient safety expert shares his perspective on the most important patient safety challenges. In response, he emphasizes the need for education, communication, technology and more patient involvement. He also encourages organizational commitment to an improvement method such as Lean, Six Sigma or [Pearl] the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)’s Model for Improvement. The Model for Improvement is billed not as a replacement for PDCA/PDSA, but rather an enhancement for “accelerating improvement”. Tip: PI and LDR should consider taking the free IHI course, An Introduction to the Model for Improvement. |
