CUSTOMER COMMENTS
Mary Jane Cody, "I found the course to be well written and informative. It was easy to understand and I will be sharing the information with others in my field."
Valerie Carr: "I am familiar with medical errors of course; however, the course provided more insight for me of senior management's role in the process of improvement. The detailed description of the causes of Medical Errors is beneficial to me as a practitioner."
Cara Tester: "I found the material even though concise to be extremely informative, thought provoking and real life scenario relevant."
OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS
The large and complex nature of the healthcare system is wrought with opportunities for medical errors. The Institute of Medicine estimated that medical errors resulted in 44,000 to 98,000 preventable deaths annually and costs between $17 - 29 billion per year. It is vital for all healthcare providers in all venues of healthcare to be alert and actively working at reducing their contribution to potential errors as well as catching errors that may have already occurred in a patient or clients care. This CPE program is intended to help dietetics practitioners become aware of the growing body of literature addressing medical errors and demonstrate ways the system can be improved.
This CPE program is a level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for three (3) continuing professional education units (CPEUs). That means that the reader has general knowledge of literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following four steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives for the CPE program.
Step 2: Study the program and as you read, think of how you can apply what is being discussed in your own area of practice.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by completing the self assessment instrument at the end of this CPE program.
Step 4: Compare your answers to the answer key that has been provided. If you score at least 80% (8 questions) correct, you are ready to transfer your answers to the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REPORTING FORM. If you scored less than 80% correct, re-read this CPE program until you score at least 80% correct.
After you have successfully completed the program, complete the CPE REPORTING FORM and the MANDATORY Critical Thinking Evaluation Tool (CTT) which per CDR must be completed by all credentialed practitioners and:
