PARTNER WITH PHYSICIANS ON SAFETY AND QUALITY
Reduce Risk and Improve Care by Engaging Physicians with Thought-Leading Courseware
While physicians often hold the key to success with safety and quality improvement initiatives, engaging them in these efforts is not always easy, given the demands of patient care and relatively high expectations for the quality of training programs. The ABMS Patient Safety Program addresses the need for physician engagement by providing a highly interactive, comprehensive course developed by the top thought-leading physicians, designed to meet one of a physician’s Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements for their specialty and providing up to 20 hours of CME credit. The Program has three primary components: (1) case-based scenarios that highlight key themes of patient safety, (2) patient safety curriculum and quality improvement fundamentals, and (3) patient safety improvement activities that will introduce specific changes the individual physician can make in his/her own practice setting. Physicians will learn essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes about safety and apply them to their practice.
