QUALITY & PATIENT SAFETY INTEGRATED CURRICULUM Introduction The core quality and patient safety capabilities provide a framework for the Quality & Patient Safety Integrated Curriculum designed for all AHS staff and medical staff. The intent of the curriculum is to engage and support AHS employees and to incorporate and apply quality and patient safety principles into their respective roles - so that together we can transform our organization and improve healthcare outcomes for Albertans. Getting Started It is recommended that all new AHS employees fulfill the online AHS orientation and passport to Quality & Healthcare Improvement (QHI) through MyLearningLink, and then pursue the Quality & Patient Safety Integrated Curriculum. All AHS Staff are encouraged to complete the Quality is Everyone s Business module The learner is encouraged to collaborate with their leader/manager to build an individualized quality and patient safety learning plan, based on the course descriptions, learning outcomes and target audience guidelines provided. Quality & Patient Safety Education Certificates help the learner to target quality and patient safety education as it applies to their role. The learner can expect to complete a brief pre- and post-knowledge assessment at the time of the session, and may be contacted 4-6 weeks thereafter via e-mail survey to assess how they have applied their learning into their role within the organization.

Appropriate Accountability Decision Support Tool Clinical leads, Supervisors, Managers, Medical staff, and Senior Administrative staff The AHS Appropriate Accountability Decision Support Tool is a module designed to provide a consistent, standardized approach to assessing the need for an individual accountability review when the unexpected or unanticipated occurs in the system. Best used after the unexpected occurs, the manager considers if the situation warrants an Administrative Review, employing the AHS just culture principles. This does not impact whether a Systems Review would occur and both would be conducted independently. Demonstrate understanding of complex adaptive systems theory and just culture in relation to appropriate accountability by: Distinguishing between when care is reasonable and when care is not reasonable as evidenced by professional standards of practice and codes of conduct, organizational policies and procedures, the substitution test of what a similarly trained and experienced, and what the prudent and ethical practitioner would do in these circumstances Making the distinction between a Patient Safety Systems Review and a Quality Administrative Review Recognizing that in exceedingly rare circumstances is there intent to harm Relate application of just culture, via follow-up electronic surveys, as evidenced by: Appreciating that although we are all accountable for our own actions, we cannot control system deficiencies Valuing human fallibility in that holding one person responsible for an error does not prevent the error from recurring in the system 7

The significance of an apology, the ALEE Technique when care is reasonable, and the TEAM Technique when care is not reasonable, are all employed. Demonstrate understanding of disclosure principles, via pre- and post-knowledge assessment by: Differentiating between the appropriate information to be shared in the initial phase of disclosure and the stages of disclosure thereafter Understanding how patients and families experience adverse outcomes, how expectations develop, and how not meeting expectations can result in disappointment Relate application of disclosure principles by managing disclosure with a patient and family through to resolution, via follow-up electronic surveys by: Acknowledging and apologizing Participating in disclosure meetings with the patient and family Offering practical and/or emotional support Investigating and committing to disclosure of findings 8
