Finding solutions to medical mistakes is essential for any healthcare organization. With process improvements and strategies, reducing errors is possible. This 2-day workshop includes basic training using mistake-proofing techniques proven to address mistakes at Virginia Mason. Overall process improvement enables increased efficiency and higher quality patient care.
Hands-on activities help participants practice analyzing problems they bring and employing the methods successfully. Processes are mapped out to address common mistake-prone situations, PDSAs are simulated and participants practice capturing data to measure improvement.
