Introduction. For the course project, you are asked to (1) make a video playlist, and (2) write a reflection essay as an introduction to your video playlist. A video playlist is a list of videos that you find from online sources; you do not create new videos. This course project will give you a chance to explore and evaluate online videos such as those on YouTube, and then write a personal reflection on the selected videos. Imagine you are sharing the playlist with project team members working on improvement.
Video playlist should have a short video for each of the three following topics:
- Topic 1 – “Touching the heart” . The main message of your video should motivate audience to be a champion for patient safety.
- For example:
- Patient stories to which you can most relate to
- Overview of occurrences of preventable patient harms in a setting or among a patient population.
Topic 2 – Illustrating “to err is human” . The main message of your video should help audience to understand the nature of human errors.
- For example:
- Good or bad designs that influence occurrences of human errors
- How gaps in communication happen.
Topic 3 – Illustrating improvement with human factors concepts or insights. The main message of your video should help audience to understand one or more human factors concepts or insights.
- For example:
- Tools that support professionals to overcome the limitations in short-term memory
- Techniques to overcome communication barriers between professionals.
The personal reflection is a 250-300 word essay (to submit in Module 4), as an introduction to your video playlist. Your reflection should contain your view on ways to be an effective champion for patient safety using human factors concepts.
Expectations. Videos are less than 30 minutes
