The initial Planning Committee for the Patient Safety Education Project met on February 10, 2005 to discuss the current level of resources and the gaps in patient safety education. In addition, they reviewed the two proposed models, Australia's National Patient Safety Education Project and the Education in Palliative and End-of-life Care Project, and discussed possible next steps of the project.
