Patient Safety: Fundamentals of Clinical Safety

Webinar series Patient Safety

Module 1: Fundamentals of Clinical Safety

Why do errors happen despite outstanding medical expertise?

Medical expertise is the foundation of good patient care – but on its own it does not guarantee safe care. Most critical incidents do not result from a lack of medical competence, but from factors such as communication, collaboration and organisational culture.

Aim of the webinar

This webinar teaches the fundamentals of modern patient safety. You will learn which competencies are crucial today alongside medical expertise and why safety culture forms the basis of safe patient care.

Practical examples from aviation and healthcare show how proven principles of a High Reliability Organization can be successfully transferred to everyday clinical practice.

What to expect

• Which competencies make up clinical safety
• Why procedural and interpersonal competencies are equally important
• Understanding and actively shaping safety culture

Who the webinar is for

For physicians, nursing professionals, managers and staff from quality and risk management who want to strengthen patient safety for the long term.
