Patient Safety/Quality Improvement (PSQI)
The University of Tennessee Graduate Medical Education Program is committed to the
education and development of exemplary physicians who practice patient-centered health
care, foster innovation in patient safety, and create strong inter-professional teams
to promote quality, safety, and value in health care across the continuum.
In the Institute of Medicine publication Crossing the Quality Chasm six specific aims were identified in order for the health care system to deliver quality care. In this short video Dr. Don Berwick will explain the “STEEEP” principles which includes care that is: Safe, effective, efficient, timely, patient centered and equitable.
