Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS)

In an essay of 1,000-1,250 words, evaluate the following aspects as they relate to SEIPS:
Describe the seven types of errors that can occur in a health care environment. Provide examples of each. Are
all these errors preventable? Describe measures that could have been implemented to improve patient safety
and reduce the occurrence of each error you described.
Discuss the framework of the SEIPS tool and how it is used within a health care environment. Compare the
SEIPS tool with one other error-reduction strategy presented in the textbook and explain when each tool might
be applied.
Explain the positive effect that the SEIPS tool can have on the reduction of errors in high-risk health care
settings.
Discuss the relationship between CQI and SEIPS in producing quality outcomes for health care organizations.
How does improving quality outcomes with a patient-centric focus help to promote a concern for the common
good within the public arena?
