“…An additional survey was emailed to the PSQC graduates who had completed their training in 2018 to assess the impact of the council on post-graduation engagement and leadership in patient safety and QI. The impact of the council on process improvements was specifically assessed and published in a prior study [ 4 ].…”

“…The call for physician leaders who are skilled in QI and patient safety is rising across the nation [ 4 ]. Although the impact of a resident-led safety council on post-residency engagement and career choices in safety is not well documented, there are numerous studies that demonstrate self-reported positive influence on future career interests.…”

Resident-led councils represent an important initiative to involve trainees in patient safety, but little is known about how to create and sustain one of these councils. We evaluated the impact of a resident-led patient safety council in an internal medicine residency program. We assessed change in resident perception of safety issues over 3 years, scholarship activities, and behavioral choices to participate or lead patient safety activities after residency. The Stony Brook Internal Medicine Residency Program formed the Patient Safety and Quality Council (PSQC) in 2014, consisting of fifteen peer-nominated residents serving a three-year term. Surveys were distributed annually from 2014 to 2017 to measure resident council members' perception of patient safety. The number of safety-related abstract/publications were tracked during and one year after graduation. Additionally, graduates from the council were surveyed to assess the influence of the council on post residency involvement and leadership in safety activities. A total of 18 residents have participated in the council from 2014 to 2017. Overall, resident perception of safety culture improved. A total of 17/18 (94%) PSQC resident members demonstrated scholarship activities in safety during residency: 8/18 (44%) were engaged in an independent Quality Improvement (QI) project, 5/18 (27%) achieved a quality improvement leadership role post residency. A total of 15 of 18 (83%) recent graduates suggest that involvement with the safety council during residency fostered future involvement in patient safety. Implementation of a resident-led safety council can help to improve the safety culture, generate scholarly activities, and encourage continued participation in patient safety after graduation.

“…Nurse staffing is linked with work environments and patient outcomes (Cho et al , 2003) and NPE with care quality (Koy et al , 2015). The connection between nursing, patient safety and care quality has been investigated by Myers et al (2017), who noted how organisational management practices, strong nursing leadership and adequate nursing staff contribute to a safe care environment.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is three-fold: first, to assess nurse satisfaction levels with working environment (known as favourability) in five Greek public hospitals using the practice environment scale (PES); second, to compare perceptions among nurses employed in surgical and medical departments; and third, to examine relationships between perceptions and nurse educational level and experience. Design/methodology/approach In total, 532 nurses from five major public hospitals in Greece completed the PES. Descriptive statistics, t-tests and Spearman correlations were employed to analyse the data. Findings Nurses perceived their work settings as unfavourable in all five hospitals, with collegial nurse–physician relations emerging as the only positive factor. Compared to medical wards, surgical departments emerged as slightly more positive working environments. Work department notwithstanding, in some cases, education and experience levels affected their perceptions on management, poor care quality, limited nurse involvement in hospital affairs and nursing shortage. Practical implications Hospital managers do not provide sufficient support for Greek nurses in their working environments. Originality/value The authors attempted to evaluate nursing practice environments in Greek hospitals, viewed from nurse perspectives. The authors identified insufficient support for nurses’ working in these hospitals.

“…Many institutions have begun to create bridging leadership roles to close the educational versus clinical care gap while addressing the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's Clinical Learning Environment Review Program requirements. 4 Other institutions have co-created QI curricula, with educational and hospital leadership, for residents across different specialties to improve QI knowledge and event reporting. 5 While the authors note few other programs have published this type of bridging innovation, the Penn Medicine Center for Health Care Innovation uses a similar ''Shark Tank'' format for a capstone project requirement for their interdisciplinary Healthcare Leadership in Quality Track.…”
