【 摘 要 】

The Patient Safety Improvement Corps (PSIC), part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ’s) patient safety initiative, is a program of three one-week sessions (didactic lessons, homework, and a team project) operated collaboratively by the AHRQ and the Veterans’ Affairs (VA) National Center for Patient Safety (NCPS). Its purpose is to improve patient safety in the nation by increasing the number and capacity of health care professionals with patient safety knowledge and skills, achieved through training teams from all 50 U.S. states over three years.
