Safety and Quality in Hospital Medical Care - AHMC801
Hospital safety and quality is a critically important and ongoing aspect of hospital care, which should not be presented as an isolated educational module which doctors can study, be declared to have 'passed' - and then ignore. This unit consists of four modules:
1. Safety and quality – what is error in health care?
2. Preventing error
3. Responding to error
4. Media, politics and the law
These modules each provide different entry points into the unit of study. Scholars may choose which pathway to take through the unit of study, provided that they complete all the compulsory learning objectives and assessments. Each module and the assessments therein also provide the scholar with the opportunity to focus on their area(s) of interest.
