Blueprint Project
• Vision • All those involved in
providing healthcare have a common understanding of key components of patient safety and quality and use this to continually invest in making patient care safer

Blueprint Project
• Mission • Work collaboratively to develop a detailed
framework of learning outcomes and objectives and some priority supporting curriculum resources incorporating key messages about patient safety concepts/topics that can be used in educating all who work in the healthcare system about the principles and processes of patient safety

September Principles Think Tank Meeting
May - First Steering Committee meeting

A few things we learned...
• Individuals interested, but really needed core ‘working group’
• Collaboration takes time!
• Group writing is painful and time consuming, but very rich

Spring - Environmental Scan
September - Patient Safety Framework for Albertans Certificate in Patent Safety & Quality Course
June - Patient Safety Principles Document
First Event Analysis Think-tank
21
Environmental Scan • Purpose • Determine extent to which systems approach
to patient safety integrated into healthcare provider education programs
• Determine what kinds of resources would be helpful in supporting integration of systems approach to patient safety
• Gather feedback about utility and content of Patient Safety Education Self-Assessment tool
21
22
Environmental Scan • Method • Based on literature review, a draft Patient
Safety Education Self-Assessment Tool (PSESAT) was developed to assist post-secondary healthcare provider education programs in determining to what extent a systems approach to patient safety has been integrated into their curriculum
• Tool developed in collaboration with educators across Alberta
22
23
Environmental Scan
• Tool • Three themes explored through tool items 1. Patient safety-related concepts taught in the
program with a focus on a systems orientation to patient safety
2. Leadership and organizational factors that support a systems approach to patient safety within an education program
3. Responding to close calls and adverse events involving students
23
25
Environmental Scan • Key Findings • Patient safety scale ratings were high
suggesting that patient safety is well-integrated into most programs, however it is not clear to what extent this reflects a systems oriented view of safety
• Respondents often stated that they did not completely understand the terms or concepts related to a systems approach that were embedded in the tool items
25
26
Environmental Scan • Key Findings • A disconnect between educational programs
and clinical settings was evident which may hinder student practice of newly learned patient safety concepts
• Programs expressed interest in user-friendly resources to help them learn about the concepts of a systems approach to patient safety - case studies, interactive technology-based resources and networking opportunities
26
27
Environmental Scan • Key Findings • Respondents recognized that the process of
completing the self-assessment tool may be its most important function
• Critically reflecting on the tool items as a group raises awareness of a systems oriented approach
• Suggestions to improve tool mainly centered on improving clarity of wording and developing a consistent rating scale

Patient Safety Framework
Based on an understanding of what is required to make healthcare safer

29
Certificate in Patient Safety & Quality
• Partnership with Office of Continuing Medical Education & Professional Practice, W21C University of Calgary & HQCA
• Third year of course - now using blended on-line and face to face format

May - Faculty Development Workshops
Patient Safety Conundrum Document
Completion of Patient Safety Principles Outcomes Matrix
Second Event Analysis Think-tank
31
Faculty Development Workshops
• Opportunity identified in environmental scan • Help make the shift from “individual provider
responsibility for safe patient care” to an integrated “systems view of patient safety”
• Important step in addressing Strategy 5 in the Patient Safety Framework for Albertans
• about 30 participants - positive feedback
31

More learning
• HUGE project • Difficult to juggle big picture and deep dives • Can’t be done off the side of anyone’s desk • Lots of great ideas...

SSA:PSR June - Advisory Nov - Workshop
Full time Quality & Safety Education Lead hired

SSA:PSR • Theory-based, developed
specifically for healthcare reviews
• Draws from aviation and human factors investigation techniques

36
Yes - more lessons!
• Project needs more of a stakeholder group than a steering committee
• Still tons more work to do • Struggling with engagement vs getting the
work done • New process for completing learning outcomes
