Education
Develop and enhance skills to address complex healthcare challenges and ensure patient safety.
Comprehensive training to navigate tough challenges
Our training programs, led by certified experts across various disciplines, are designed to promote a total systems approach to safety. Suitable for learners of all experience levels, these courses offer valuable insights into strategies for preventing patient harm. Topics covered include casual analysis of harm events and near misses, human factors and systems design, medication safety, and just culture, empowering participants to enhance patient care and safety.
Expertise you can rely on
Our interdisciplinary team of 500+ experts brings decades of experience in patient safety, clinical research, human factors engineering, and more. In 2020, ECRI and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) formed a partnership, creating one of the largest healthcare safety institutions globally. ISMP is a leader in medication safety. In December 2024, ECRI acquired The Just Culture Company, enhancing its ability to foster fair, accountable, and learning-focused organizational cultures.
Our education is rooted in Total Systems Safety, a framework that aligns clinical and safety operations to improve care. This approach fosters a human-centered, resilient system that enhances reliability and minimizes risk. By integrating just culture, we support cultural transformation, empowering healthcare teams with comprehensive training to drive continuous improvement and ensure safety.
