For the purpose of alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Strategy of MOH, there is a high demand for professional quality practitioners. This 8-week Healthcare Quality course addresses the lack of practice in professional quality courses that poses a significant challenge to individuals seeking to enhance their skills in quality management.
Staff who are assigned with quality often have no practical training on how to implement the principles, methods and tools in the area in day-to-day practice. The knowledge and skills in healthcare quality management is not validated as there is lots of variation in knowledge and practice. There are no standardized guidelines for quality management practice because of which there is less commitment to maintain high standards of patient care and safety.
Quality improvement is the framework used to systematically improve healthcare. It seeks to standardize structure and processes to reduce variation, achieve predictable results, and improve outcomes for patients and their families, staff, healthcare systems, and organizations. This course covers formal quality improvement methods, clinical auditing, importance of data-driven decisions, and patient safety. It is designed for Quality Specialists, Quality Coordinators, and Healthcare Providers with a bachelor degree in health-related specialties.
Requirements: Bachelor degree of health-related specialties, English language proficiency.
