Patient safety: do nursing and medical curricula address this theme?
Wakefield A, Attree M, Braidman I, et al. Patient safety: do nursing and medical curricula address this theme? Nurse Educ Today. 2005;25(4):333-40.
The authors investigate whether patient safety is sufficiently addressed in the United Kingdom's national health care curriculum. After reviewing the literature, they recommend that nursing and medical education should cover patient safety more comprehensively through both systems and human factors approaches to learning from adverse events.
