2012-2013 AHA-NPSF Comprehensive Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship
On Dec 23, 2011Applications Being Accepted Through March 15, 2012
With an increasing demand for quality in health care, care providers must expand efforts to integrate patient safety concepts and deploy them in all areas, to all people in their organizations. They must be prepared to thrive in new delivery systems and care models across the continuum, while being responsive to public and private sector initiatives to broaden pay-for-performance programs.
The Lucian Leape Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation outlined many of these challenges in its landmark 2009 paper, Transforming Healthcare: A Safety Imperative, in which it offers a new transformational model for patient safety improvement. The American Hospital Association (AHA) and the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) have adapted the components of this transformational model to create a new curriculum, the Comprehensive Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship Framework.This new approach extends the program’s traditional focus on core patient safety knowledge to embrace new topics emerging from health care delivery system transformation.
Now entering its 11th year, the AHA-NPSF Comprehensive Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship, is designed to prepare the next generation of patient safety, quality, and performance improvement leaders.
The Fellowship consists of four in-person learning sessions, periodic teleconferences, various self and organizational assessment,s and individual coaching. The yearlong program culminates with the completion of an Action Learning Project (ALP) demonstrating the Fellow’s ability to apply the concepts learned.
Applications for the 2012-2013 class of the AHA-NPSF Comprehensive Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship are now being accepted. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2012.
