PATIENT SAFETY INFORMATICS AS A CORE SAFETY CURRICULUM IN GRADUATE EDUCATION:A CASE STUDY FROM JAPAN
Patient safety is a growing public concern worldwide. Numerous education and training programs have been developed mostly in North America. Some emerged safety curriculums for graduate medical education have focused on culture and cognitive factors. Recently, there has been a tremendous interest in using health information technology (HIT) to enhance patient safety. However, the related curriculum has not yet been described. This paper aims to report our initiatives by developing patient safety informatics as a core safety curriculum in our graduate educational program. After comparing the curriculums between our institute with those described in recently published medical literatures, we found that except for patient safety informatics, eight out of nine of our core curriculums were covered by the available literature. Five subsections in this curriculum demonstrated the impact of HIT on patient safety.
