PATIENT SAFETY

�e guidelines stress the importance and describe how to integrate patient safety in quality improvement and in all kinds of health care education.

�ey describe experiences and the state of the art in patient safety and resilient care, making proposals to learning outcomes and provide advice for implementation.

�ey also include cases and “storytelling” from patients, carers and signi�cant others.

�e project has inspired further inter-professional collaboration nationwide to stress and describe remaining core competencies starting with person-centred care and evidenced-based care.

�e guidelines are co-written by a nurse and a medical doctor. Interventions are based on consensus discussions from an inter-professional workshop.

– A Core Competency for all professionals

In order to provide a better and safer health care patient safety is a core competence that´s necessary for tomorrow´s health care professionals.

Patient safety is one of the six key core competencies: person-centred care, teamwork, evidence-based care, quality improvement, patientsafety and infor-matics. �ey are all interrelated.

�ere is a strong recommendation that all education in health care should include the six core competencies pointed out by �e Institute of Medicine of the National Academiesand the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses.For information please contact: [email protected]
