CSI: (Clinical Safety Investigation):

Virtual Patient Safety Rounds

Purpose: To develop a video-based library of

patient safety vignettes that allows pre-licensure

students to detect patient safety errors and

vulnerabilities while developing ethical and critical

decision-making skills needed to advance a culture

of patient safety

Project Rollout

•Mapping of Patient Safety Goals, associated

problems, needed video, & debriefing scenarios

•Scripts that contained defined elements; props,

and actors

•Consent was obtained from all actors. Filming &

editing of each vignette

•Two copies of each vignette with and without

the violations explicated, were produced

•Content validation by expert panel & graduate

nursing research class

•Vignettes prepared in a chapter DVD format

•Suitable for adaptation as Internet interactive

podcasts or MP3 podcast downloads

Content Grid

Filming & Editing

Validation

Dissemination

Results

A DVD with 12 vignettes containing a total of 100

errors and supporting curricular materials

Patient Safety Vignettes

Designed for Flexible Use

• In classroom settings to introduce the concepts

• In clinical conferences to discuss:

• Monitoring personal behaviors and practices

• How to handle departures by colleagues from safe

practices

• As part of simulation experiences

• As part of staff orientation programs in clinical

settings

Appropriate for either individual or group learning

Features

• Vignettes initially are shown with the errors

embedded but not labeled

• Vignettes are then shown again, with the errors

labeled

• Types of errors:

• Errors of omission

• Errors of commission

• Situations are included that are frequently considered errors but

are not

Error Identification

• Errors of Omission

• No hand cleansing

• Insufficient patient verification procedures

• Failure to dispose of syringe; dirty clothes

• Failure for appropriate handoff

• Errors of Commission

• Dangling jewelry

• Unnecessary gloving

:

• How would work with UAP around safety errors?

Questions for Discussion

• Whose responsibility was it for each of these

errors?

• What do you do if you see a breach in patient

safety that wasn’t your direct responsibility?

• How would you work with a UAP around safety

training; safety errors?

Summary

• Because this project draws on the complementary

strengths and resources of academic institutions

and clinical agencies, high quality, clinical relevant,

pedagogical materials can be developed that are

appropriate for multiple settings

• Ideally, this project can serve as a model for other

combined academic-practice partnership

educational efforts.

Support for this project came from:

• The Veteran’s Administration

• National Center for Patient Safety

• VA Boston Healthcare System

• Boston College

• William F. Connell School of Nursing
