Web-based Clinician Education

It seems that if you're not offering it in web-based format, your just not cutting edge!

The AHRQ, National Safety Foundation, and the Medical College of Wisconsin have created patient safety materials that are accessed via the web. Materials are focused on the different constituents including physicians, nurses, and patients, each with their own website.

The nursing topics include:

• an ethical imperitive
• changing the system and the culture
• breaking down barriers
• impact of a close call reporting system
• learning from error
• resporting error and follow-up
• the proactive approach to error
• health literacy
• technology and the nurse
• implications of the patient safety movement
• staffing
• geriatric nursing
• home healthcare

We may have seen it before, but this is a very creative format. Well worth clicking through!
