Group offers guidance for engaging new clinicians in patient safety

The National Collaborative for Improving the Clinical Learning Environment this week released guidance to help health care system leaders work with clinical educators to create learning environments where new clinicians actively engage in patient safety activities. The document provides a framework and recommendations for engaging new clinicians in patient safety and instilling life-long behaviors that promote safe systems of care. “Our hope is that executive leaders can take this information and set of recommendations…to develop strategies that fit their organization and create learning environments that help new clinicians engage in patient safety,” the project co-chairs said. AHA is a member of the collaborative and its steering committee.
