Risk & Error Identification in Rural Health Settings

Effective identification and reporting of risks, errors, and near misses are essential to improving patient safety, particularly in community and rural health environments where small process gaps can have significant downstream effects. This activity builds on foundational safety concepts by introducing practical tools, frameworks, and real world examples that support early recognition, containment, and learning from safety events. Learners will explore a structured problem solving framework, key elements of effective risk identification and reporting programs, and strategies for debriefing and sharing lessons learned. Emphasizing systems-based thinking, just culture principles, and reflective practice, this activity equips learners with actionable skills to foster continuous improvement and strengthen quality and patient safety outcomes.
