“Medical Knowledge”
- Human Factors analysis is the “science”
behind patient safety/adverse events analysis (as microbiology is
the “science” behind infectious disease)
- “Patient Care”
- Quality/competent patient care is safe patient care
- “Interpersonal and Communication Skills”
- Deficits in communications between caregivers, patients
and families contribute to adverse events
- “Professionalism”
- We have a professional responsibility to improve the
safety of the care we provide, and the settings in which we provide
that care
- “Practice-Based Learning and Improvement”
- Analysis of patterns of care from patient safety/quality
improvement perspective
- “Systems-Based Practice”
- Systems in which we function (not just our individual
performance) contribute significantly to safety and quality of clinical
care we provide
