The training course is divided into targeted modules that integrate theory with participative learning and practical application. Each module gives participants essential concepts, case illustrations, and instruments to handle patient safety in their specific roles.

1. Introduction to Patient Safety

Patient safety is the cornerstone of healthcare quality. This module presents the fundamental definitions, history, and the international framework that defines standards today.

Definition, history, and global perspectives
WHO's patient safety agenda
The need for safety in contemporary healthcare

2. Human Factors in Healthcare

Knowing the limitations of human performance is key to creating safer systems. Learners discover how stress, fatigue, and workload influence patient care.

The contribution of human error to adverse events
Cognitive biases in clinical decision-making
Designing systems to reduce risks

3. Communication and Teamwork

Communication failures are a main reason for medical errors. This part of the module educates on structured frameworks for safe information exchange between teams.

Challenges in patient handovers
Inter-professional communication in high-stress environments
SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) technique

4. Risk Management and Avoidance of Error

Healthcare professionals need to be active in identifying possible risks and avoiding harm before harm occurs.

Risk identification, near-miss, and hazard
Application of RCA and FMEA to study incidents
Checklists and standardized safety procedures

5. Medication Safety

Medication prescribing and administration errors can have serious outcomes. Safe practices and error prevention are emphasized in this module.

Causes of medication errors that are common
Double-checking and verification processes
Technology and automation in risk reduction

6. Infection Prevention and Control

Preventing infection is an essential aspect of safety. Learners learn about major hygiene practices and procedures that safeguard patients and healthcare staff.

Hand hygiene protocols
Correct use of PPE (personal protective equipment)
Preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)

7. Involvement of the Patient in Safety

The patient is an active participant in error prevention. This module concentrates on his or her participation in planning for safety and communication.

Patient involvement in care planning
Promoting patients to report concerns
Shared decision-making models

8. Learning Systems and Incident Reporting

A fair and open reporting culture enables the learning of lessons from errors and continuous improvement.

Significance of incident and near-miss reporting
Conquering blame culture
National and organizational reporting systems

9. Safety Culture Building

Genuine safety derives from cultural transformation where openness, accountability, and ongoing improvement are valued.

Leadership role in patient safety
Encouraging openness and accountability
Ongoing improvement through monitoring of safety

10. Practical Applications and Simulations

Practical exercises make it easier to apply ideas to real life. Simulations and role-playing are employed to enhance practical skills.

Role-playing safety-critical situations
Simulating communication failures
Practical training using safety tools and checklists
