Evaluation Study of the Multi-professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide: Complementary Test Site

Agency : WHO, Geneva

In today's healthcare context, there is growing recognition of the importance of safer care in health-care settings and the consequent need for health professionals and students of health sciences to learn about adverse events in healthcare and the urgent necessity for patient safety.

WHO Geneva introduced a standard curriculum guide on patient safety for building a foundation of knowledge, skills and attitudes that will better prepare students for clinical practice. Before the curriculum guide is integrated in the curriculum of medical and health management students, it is being piloted in various institutions.

IIHMR was selected as a complementary site for piloting the curriculum among its PG students and MDP participants. The Institute has already completed the piloting of the patient safety curriculum on its participants. The report is being finalized and will be submitted to the WHO headquarters.
