Abstract

This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of a stand-alone safety and quality improvement course and the integration of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's safety modules into the RN to BSN program curriculum. A pre/postintervention design was used to measure the attitudes of a cohort of students. The results demonstrate gains in all dimensions measured, with statistically significant gains in four areas: safety general, team functioning, patient's role in error, and situational awareness. This study lends support to the value of a course focused on safety and quality and the use of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement modules in the curriculum KEY WORDS Baccalaureate Nursing Education – Nursing Education – Patient Safety – Program Evaluation his evaluation study measured the impact of integrating a Nursing (2008) highlighted nursing’s potential to transform health stand-alone patient safety course with Institute for Healthcare care into a safer, higher quality system through interprofessional T Improvement (IHI) safety modules in the RN to BSN program communications and collaboration.
