Building Nursing Capacity for Safety Initiatives is a
five-day program for nurses who want to become safety
champions and lead interdisciplinary safety programs.
Scheduled for Feb. 26 to March 3, the new academy will
prepare participants to identify and prioritize
organizational safety issues; use a diverse set of safety
measures and tools provided in the clinician toolbox; plan,
implement and evaluate a safety improvement plan at the
unit or organizational level; develop expertise as a safety
champion and change agent; and make the case for safety by
analyzing and presenting data in a compelling way.
