Table 3 Facilitating and Hindering Factors for Implementation of Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Workshops
From: Efficacy of quality improvement and patient safety workshops for students: a pilot study
Facilitating Factors | Hindering Factors |
|---|---|
Large academic medical center with abundance of faculty with QI/PS experience | Competing interests and commitments of trainees (choosing between multiple lectures or academic organization events) |
Funding for workshops to purchase any required materials and provide food for attendees | Schedule variation between preclinical students (basic sciences) and clinical students on rotations |
Culture of safety within large academic medical center | Lack of awareness and familiarity regarding QI/PS terminology and skills |
Engagement of student-leaders in Institute for Healthcare Improvement Open School Chapter | Access due to geographic location of workshop (especially for clinical students rotating at specific hospitals) |
Interactive nature of workshops | Engagement of students with varying specialty interests (i.e. pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, etc.) |
Opportunity for preclinical students to gain clinical exposure | Ability to accommodate large groups and maintain interactive nature of workshops |
Opportunity for QI/PS faculty to get involved with medical school teaching | Â |
Opportunity for faculty educational portfolio enhancement | Â |
