INTRODUCTION Within Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University
(IU) Health, not all physicians, residents, nurses, pharmacists and
pharmacy techs were aware of new quality and safety initiatives
related to medication errors, accidental injury, falls, and error in
administration/operation. IU Health Physician Leadership, the IU
Health Center for Physician Education/Academic Affairs, and Indiana
University School of Medicine Continuing Medical Education (CME)
partnered to develop an initiative to communicate new safety
initiatives to healthcare professionals on how to apply these
measures. The faculty course director for this project was Michele
Saysana, MD, Medical Director for Quality & Safety at Riley Hospital
for Children at IU Health, Planners include Center for Physician Education Supervisor of Program Delivery AHC Maria Simon, BSN, RN and Program Manager Jason Dixon, MA, and Kim M. Denny, MS, Assistant Director for
Education and Quality Improvement at IU School of Medicine CME.

This practice gap was assessed via audits of quality assurance data,
survey of the target audience, and supported by peer-reviewed
literature. It was determined that because not all healthcare
professionals were aware of the new quality and safety initiatives on
error prevention, these measures were not being implemented
consistently. A need was identified for learning to ensure that
measures were applied resulting in patient safety and the highest of
quality care. The expected outcomes are that 100% of physicians and
residents in Riley Hospital will have knowledge of both the new safety
and error prevention practices and be able to apply in practice per
hospital policies (Moore’s Level 5 – Performance) and reduction of
Serious Safety Events metric data to measurement of zero incidence
(Moore’s Level 6 – Patient Health).

METHODS This initiative was accredited for AMA PRA Category 1
Credit(s)™ for physicians, Nursing CEU, and Pharmacy CE for
Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. This instruction was designed
based on principles of adult learning as a series of live, interactive
sessions in a blended learning approach with Q&A to generate feedback,
participatory small group discussion, video engagement, and audience
problem-solving exercises. The training was held during 37 sessions
between March – December 2014. Potential barriers identified in this
activity were information overload and time constraints due to patient
care obligations. This activity was designed to overcome these
challenges by streamlining content to ensure transfer of learning of
the “need to know” information.

OBJECTIVES Apply the knowledge of new quality and safety error
prevention initiatives and hospital policies; describe the key
performances indicators of a patient safety culture; discuss the 3
ways humans make errors and the baseline frequency distribution for
each error type; apply error prevention and behavioral expectations;
practice behaviors for error prevention.
