Recorded webinar: Reliability Science in Practice (MY)

  • Dates: 06 – 06 May, 2020

Date recorded: Wednesday 6 May 2020
Suitable for:
All Malaysian Medical Protection members

Patient safety is increased when we reduce unwanted variability in care. We always wash our hands, never forget to check for allergies and observe all the steps in the checklists. Every test is followed up and none fall through the gaps. Never ever events just don't happen.

Yet we are only human. Most of the time we are careful and diligent but, even when the stakes are higher than usual in the middle of a pandemic, sometimes care and diligence isn't enough.

This one-hour recorded webinar looks at and learns from the science of reliability. Dr Phern-Chern Tor, Risk Prevention Education Faculty and Head of Neurostimulation Services and Consultant in the Mood Disorders Unit, Institute of Mental Health, discusses approaches that can be used to address the human factors in every day practice to enable you to climb to the highest levels of reliability needed for greater safety, especially at times like these.

Webinar objectives
  • Acquire greater knowledge and insights into the science of reliability
  • Gain awareness of barriers
  • Learn skills to improve quality in practice
