Das praxisorientierte, interprofessionelle Lehr- und Lernwerk zur Patientensicherheit Fehler und unerwünschte Ereignisse passieren in der Medizin genauso häufig wie in anderen Berufszweigen und schaden den Patientinnen und Patienten, aber auch denjenigen, denen sie unterlaufen. Wichtig ist deshalb, eigene Unsicherheiten zu reflektieren, Fehlerquellen aufzudecken, im Team darüber zu sprechen und so eine Sicherheitskultur zu etablieren. Die Grundlagen dafür vermitteln Ihnen die Autoren kurzweilig und anhand zahlreicher Praxisbeispiele: Was sind Fehler, was unerwünschte Ereignisse? Welche Fallstricke gibt es in Kommunikation, Diagnostik und Therapie? Wie können Fehler vermieden werden? Was tun, wenn ein Fehler passiert ist? Wie funktioniert und was bringt Risikomanagement? Die Inhalte sind an die aktuellen Prüfungskataloge angepasst. Grundwissen Patientensicherheit unterstützt Medizinstudierende, Pflegeauszubildende und alle im medizinischen Bereich Tätigen dabei, Patientensicherheit umfassend zu lernen und hilft ihnen, nicht alle Fehler selbst machen zu müssen, sondern von den Erfahrungen anderer zu profitieren.
