Managing the Culture and Teaching of Patient Safety and Quality Improvement in Psychiatry Residency Training
摘要
Teaching patient safety (PS) and quality improvement (QI) to residents is critical to the overall management of a successful psychiatry residency program. The purpose of this chapter is to guide and assist residency program directors (PDs) in the design and implementation of PS/QI training. The content is intended both for the seasoned PD and the new PD. Attention is given to PS/QI underpinnings; curriculum, faculty development, competency-based assessment, and program evaluation; culture of safety; program mission and size; and future directions. While PS/QI theory and science are foundational throughout, providing PDs with practical information and resources is the main objective.
