Abstract
Efforts to increase patient safety have increased over the past 20 years. Education in patient safety has historically targeted residents, senior physicians, and healthcare professionals. Recently, patient safety has been identified as a top priority that should be instilled in the earliest stages of medical education, targeted at medical students. This Black Ice paper is intended to help readers to get a grip on how to manage barriers associated with reporting of medical errors, analysis of patient safety incidents, and integration of patient safety education curricula into existing courses and rotations.
Résumé
Les efforts visant à accroître la sécurité des patients se sont intensifiés au cours des 20 dernières années. L’éducation à la sécurité des patients a toujours ciblé les résidents, les médecins seniors et les professionnels de la santé. Récemment, la sécurité des patients a été identifiée comme une priorité absolue qui devrait être inculquée dès les premiers stades de la formation médicale, en ciblant les étudiants en médecine. Ce Terrain glissant est destiné à aider les lecteurs à comprendre comment gérer les obstacles associés au signalement des erreurs médicales, à l'analyse des incidents liés à la sécurité des patients et à l'intégration des programmes de formation sur la sécurité des patients dans les cours et les stages existants.
