Summary
This is a competency based framework for patient safety set out by the Canadian Patient Safety Institute.
Content
The safety competencies is a practical framework designed for all healthcare professionals. Created by the Canadian Patient Safety Institute, it has six core competency domains:
- Contribute to a culture of patient safety – a commitment to applying core patient safety knowledge, skills and attitudes to everyday work.
- Work in teams for patient safety – working within interprofessional teams to optimise patient safety and quality of care.
- Communicate effectively for patient safety – promoting patient safety through effective healthcare communication.
- Manage safety risks – anticipating, recognising and managing situations that place patients at risk.
- Optimise human and environmental factors – managing the relationship between individual and environmental characteristics in order to optimise patient safety.
- Recognise, respond to and disclose adverse events – recognising the occurrence of an adverse event or close call and responding effectively to mitigate harm to the patient, ensure disclosure and prevent recurrence.
