Creating Patient Safety Team Members Through a Simulation-Based Interprofessional Root Cause Analysis Course.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Common Program Requirements require residents to participate in real or simulated interprofessional patient safety activities. Root cause analysis (RCA) is widely used to respond to patient safety events; however, residents may lack knowledge about the process.

Objective

To improve clinicians' knowledge of the tools used to conduct an RCA and the science behind them, and to describe this course and discuss outcomes and feasibility.

Methods
