Patient Safety Resource Seminar: Librarians on the Front Lines<br />
4 credits<br />
Instructor: Holly Burt<br />
This four-hour course focuses on ways librarians can become more involved in patient safety<br />
processes and activities - both within their institutions and organizations and in providing<br />
patient safety resources for health professionals, for administration and staff, and for patients<br />
and families. Topics include understanding the definitions and issues of patient safety; locating<br />
where patient safety practices and contacts exist within an institution; identifying appropriate<br />
resources; and library advocacy in the area of patient safety. These four hours of lecture,<br />
discussion and brainstorming help librarians in all fields become effective agents for improving<br />
patient safety.
