Patient participation in patient safety
Research evidence shows that patient participation in patient safety activities improves patient outcomes, prevents adverse events and leads to positive ratings on the quality of hospital care.
Professor Tracey Bucknall (CIC) is carrying out an ARC supported study, in collaboration with Griffith University colleagues Professor Wendy Chaboyer (CIA) and Associate Professor Jennifer Whitty (CIB), to provide a better understanding of the patients’ perceived role, which may be useful in promoting patient participation during their care at The Alfred.
Results will provide the foundations for health policy, education and practice to promote patient participation.
