The Patient Safety Education Project (PSEP TM) combines two high-quality models to advance a national and international patient safety education-dissemination agenda.

First, the U.S. developed a high-impact, conference-based education disemmination project. Using a curriculum driven, train-the-trainer approach grounded in adult learning theory and embedded into social structures to facilitate behavior change, the model has been evaluated and found to be unprecedentedly successful. This model will be used for dissemination. This model has been used successfully for the Education in Palliative and End-of-life Care (EPEC) Project.

Second, Australia created a national consensus framework for patient safety from which diverse groups could create teaching materials for all levels of health care workers. This framework will be used as a starting point to define core patient safety content. In addition, PSEP collaborates with many patient safety groups throughout the United States, Australia, and beyond, and rather than recreate them, will draw on their excellent contributed materials whenever possible to create a consensus-based Core Safety Curriculum. This Core Safety Curriculum will drive the dissemination of patient safety practices.

Curricular materials are all prefaced by a trigger tape to facilitate learning. Below is the tape that will accompany an opening plenary for PSEP.
