A great, informative course. The downside is that some of the links to the readings in week one do not work, and so finding them on your own (and without a paywall) can be a bit difficult.
Indeed the facilitators have really done well in delivery of the content, I will organize all my friends to enroll in the course. You are indeed doing a wonderful job. Kudos to you guys.
the course content was very clear and organized the lecturer was great. take my attention form the beginning to the end\n\nmaybe it needs only to add some case studies videos
I was a little time consuming in the first week because of my work schedule. However, I dedicated one weekend to complete the the course. Awesome experience with great teachers
Sobre Programa de cursos integrados segurança do paciente
Preventable patient harms, including medical errors and healthcare-associated complications, are a global public health threat. Moreover, patients frequently do not receive treatments and interventions known to improve their outcomes. These shortcomings typically result not from individual clinicians’ mistakes, but from systemic problems -- communication breakdowns, poor teamwork, and poorly designed care processes, to name a few.
