Problem: Lack of Engaging Patient Safety Education Leading to Medical Errors
Clinicians need an efficient way to learn about how to promote patient safety, and ensure that patients get high quality care. Unfortunately when medical errors occur that can lead to poor patient outcomes and even lawsuits. There are a few avoidable clinical mistakes that contribute to a large majority of these poor patient outcomes. Historically, these topics have been discussed in courses that are not engaging and thus, don’t lead to long-term retention.
Solution: Video Series Highlighting Avoidable Medical Malpractice Cases
With the assistance of the Diffusion Studios team, a video series was developed to call attention to errors that lead to medical professional liability claims. A “rewind” feature was used to explain process improvements that could have be made in order to avoid the claims. These videos equip students, physicians, and allied healthcare providers with the information needed to make better decisions, support patient safety, and achieve institutional quality goals.
Result: Widely Viewed Videos with High Approval and Curriculum Impact
The videos created by Diffusion Studios and Coverys have been viewed 249,000+ times and have an overwhelmingly favorable approval rating (>96%). A great number of viewers commented on the videos seeking out additional information about the cases and to state that this material was filling a curriculum gap.
A sample of YouTube viewer comments are below:
“It’s hard to overestimate the importance of these ‘avoidable medical malpractice case’ videos. We learn a lot of ‘pure’ medicine in medical school, but don’t know much about something behind diagnostic and treatment plan after graduation. Thank you so much! I would like to watch more and more videos like this one.”
“I appreciate the relevance of these videos because they are avoidable mistakes. Thanks.”
