What is a patient safety morning report?

Patient Safety Morning Report is a novel curriculum integrated with real case scenario discussions, identification of specific safety domains, and brainstorming of potential solutions to prevent similar safety errors in the future. This curriculum laid a pathway for students to become PS liaisons, and opportunity to initiate discussion about PS in the early clinical years. It helped students to voice safety concerns and identify possible domains involved. Interestingly, our curriculum assumed that each student would be able to identify at least one safety lapse to discuss, and since starting we have never had a student who was unable to bring a case for discussion. This highlights the ubiquity of PS issues and medical students’ ability to recognize them. We feel this curriculum will serve as a starting point for students to recognize PS events and become more vocal about them, helping develop a positive safety culture in the hospital.
