Background: Handoff miscommunications are a leading source of medical errors. Medical error and adverse event rates decreased following implementation of the I-PASS handoff program (a bundled intervention using a structured mnemonic, I-PASS, and other initiatives to sustain implementation) in a pediatric research trial. Whether I-PASS can be implemented in settings outside academic pediatric institutions is […]

Background: In 2016, ACGME’s first Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) report found that trainees had limited knowledge of Quality Improvement (QI) and patient safety (PS) concepts.. Purpose: We have designed a free, interactive, web-based game named SafetyQuest (http://safetyquest.stanford.edu) to teach QI and PS concepts. Objectives include: 1) Increasing knowledge regarding actions to promote safety such […]

Background: Quality improvement and patient safety (QI/PS) methods are being used to drive positive change in healthcare. To date, these efforts have led to slow and inconsistent change. Insufficient expertise remains a significant rate-limiting step at many institutions. To address this barrier, trainees need opportunities to learn about and participate in QI/PS. At the University […]

Background: Incoming interns must understand the specific culture of safety at their new institution as well as processes that they are expected to know on day 1 of residency. As part of an immersive half-day simulation program for incoming interns called First Night On Call (FNOC), we developed a hypotension Group Observed Standardized Clinical Encounter […]

Background: The transition from medical student to intern presents a major patient safety concern. Incoming interns must understand the specific culture of safety at their new institution and processes that they are expected to perform on day 1 of residency without direct supervision. We developed an immersive, integrated First Night On Call (FNOC) simulation to […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Interdisciplinary communication, quality improvment, and patient safety, are integral components to providing quality healthcare. Furthermore, the ACGME recognizes the importance of the learning and working environment, a culture of safety, and providing opportunities for learners to participate in interprofessional quality improvement activities which it designates as a core program requirement. At the University of […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Nearly half of incorrect procedures occur outside the operating room, and failure to conduct a robust time-out is a frequent root cause. Mannequin-based simulation (MBS) has been shown to improve self-confidence and performance of time-outs, but is expensive, time-consuming, and difficult to scale up effectively for large groups of medical learners. Screen-based simulation (SBS) […]

Background: Residents, because they are on the frontlines of the provision of care, are integral to improving care. Yet the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has reported residents are not as engaged in improving patient safety as they could be, noting, “Though most residents and fellows were aware of their [clinical learning environment]’s […]
