Patient Safety |
Healthcare providers in operating rooms and other areas where invasive procedures are performed function in high-risk environments where potential hazards exist. The increasing complexity of patient care and the healthcare system brings ever-expanding challenges to those charged with protecting patients. This competency-assessment module addresses safety issues and a need for change through individual and team leadership as well as the critical variables that must be present in a culture of safety.
