Most healthcare professions have introduced patient safety initiatives and educational curricula into their practices and educational programs to respond to these reports, but the medical laboratory profession has been slow to adopt these concepts into our curriculum. Many medical laboratory professionals are not familiar with patient safety vocabulary and concepts, nor are most able to recognize the laboratory's role in ensuring patient safety. The purpose of our study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a patient safety curriculum in three different medical laboratory science programs in the United States. A patient safety module was added to one course in each program during the first and last semesters of each program. Analysis of student learning was assessed after each educational intervention. During the first semester of the two year study, a 10 question quiz was administered to medical laboratory science students one week prior to the presentation, along with assigned reading on patient safety, and again, 1-3 weeks after the presentation. The number of correct answers on the pre-quiz was compared to the number correct on the post-quiz. Data for 32 students at three MLS programs indicate a statistically significant (p value 0.000) improvement of 1.5 points on the post-quiz as compared to the pre-quiz, improving an average score of 3.9 to 5.4 out of 10. These data indicate that introduction of a short, standardized curriculum on patient safety in medical laboratory science education programs can improve students' awareness and knowledge of the laboratory's role in ensuring patient safety. This is a preliminary step in the process of creating a culture of patient safety among practicing and future medical laboratory professionals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
