Developing surgical and anesthesia resident patient safety competencies through systems-based event analysis. Guide to curricular development and evaluation of longer-term resident perceptions.

Previous studies have demonstrated that residents participating in patient safety event investigations become more engaged in future patient safety activities. Currently, there is a gap in resident participation in patient safety event analyses. The objective was to develop and implement a sustainable, faculty-led curriculum for resident participation in patient safety event investigations and to evaluate resident perceptions of the training at least one year following completion of the training.

The Pursuing Excellence Collaborative: Engaging First-Year Residents and Fellows in Patient Safety Event Investigations.

Objectives: Resident and fellow engagement in patient safety event investigations (PSEIs) can benefit both the clinical learning environment's ability to improve patient care and learners' problem-solving skills. The goals of this collaborative were to increase resident and fellow participation in these investigations and improve PSEI quality.

Methods: This collaborative involved 18 sites-8 sites that had participated in a similar previous collaborative (cohort I) and 10 "new" sites (cohort II).

Implementation outcomes of the Structured and Codified SIG format in electronic prescription directions.

Objective: To determine the extent of implementation, completeness, and accuracy of Structured and Codified SIG (S&C SIG) directions on electronic prescriptions (e-prescriptions).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of a random sample of 3.8 million e-prescriptions sent from electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) software to outpatient pharmacies in the United States between 2019 and 2021.

COVID-19 aerosol transmission simulation-based risk analysis for in-person learning.

As educational institutions begin a school year following a year and a half of disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, risk analysis can help to support decision-making for resuming in-person instructional operation by providing estimates of the relative risk reduction due to different interventions. In particular, a simulation-based risk analysis approach enables scenario evaluation and comparison to guide decision making and action prioritization under uncertainty. We develop a simulation model to characterize the risks and uncertainties associated with infections resulting from aerosol exposure in in-person classes.
