Adverse Events and Medical Errors: Response and Analysis
This course will address the importance of reporting errors for prevention of future adverse events and improved patient safety, as well as the role of root cause analysis (RCA) as an investigation tool for identifying the underlying systems failures that may have led to the error. It will also examine the benefits and barriers to reporting and the role of healthcare culture in reporting. Finally, it will explain the basic process of reporting that is common in most healthcare organizations.
Describe the systems approach to medical errors and how it increases the likelihood that errors are reported.
Understand the benefits of reporting errors, especially the importance of reporting errors for patient safety improvements.
Identify the barriers to reporting errors and the role that healthcare culture plays.
Explain the basic process of reporting errors in a healthcare organization.

Community-based Early Interventions to Reduce Suicide Risk
This course explains how upstream suicide prevention and community-based early interventions are important to target risk before people are in crisis. It identifies community-based early intervention strategies and programs across different settings. Lastly, this course indicates how to create environments and everyday interactions that support suicide prevention.
Explain the importance of upstream suicide prevention and community-based early interventions.
Identify community-based early intervention strategies and programs across different settings.
Indicate how to create environments and everyday interactions that support suicide prevention.
Disclosure of Unforeseen Outcomes
Medical errors and unanticipated outcomes not only have the potential for devastating consequences, but they are a relatively common occurrence in healthcare. Accordingly, providers must be well-versed in understanding the basic steps of disclosing these events to patients and their families, as well as the legal ramifications of such action. Fortunately, there are models and ethical frameworks that help guide these decisions and conversations, but every provider must determine the approach that is best for their practice.
Understand the basic steps of the disclosure process, the ethical frameworks for disclosure, and the pragmatic, regulatory, and legal reasons for disclosure.
Explore the emotional and psychological effects of medical errors on providers and patients.
In Session: Practicing Clinical Skills to Prevent Suicide in Adults
The goal of this course is to provide addictions, behavioral health counseling, marriage and family therapy, nursing, psychology, and social work professionals in health and human services settings with an opportunity to apply your existing knowledge to assess and intervene with an at-risk adult.
Identify risk factors and warning signs for suicidality in adults.
Indicate the appropriate steps to assess an individual’s level of suicide risk.
State the essential interventions to implement based on the level of identified risk.
Overview of Evidence-Based, Suicide-Specific Interventions
It was once assumed that addressing underlying conditions was the best way to treat suicidality. We now know that suicidal people need interventions that directly target suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Suicide-specific interventions will give you the tools to help clients manage suicide risk.
In this course, you will learn about specific evidence-based and research-informed interventions that directly target suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Through case examples, you will gain a better understanding of ways to implement these strategies.
The goal of this course is to provide addictions, behavioral health counseling, marriage and family therapy, nursing, psychology, and social work professionals with knowledge about evidence-based, suicide-specific interventions.
Describe three evidence-based interventions for treating individuals at risk for suicide or who have made a recent attempt.
Summarize the process for completing a safety plan and for reducing access to lethal means.
Recall the factors you should consider when determining what interventions may be needed for suicidal individuals.
Reducing Risk of Suicide in Adolescents and Transition Age Youth
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents and transition age youth (TAY). This course provides an overview of risk factors, protective factors, and warning signs of suicide specific to this population. It also describes suicide assessment strategies and interventions that reduce the risk of suicide in adolescents and TAY.
Identify risk factors, protective factors, and warning signs of suicide in adolescents and transition age youth.
State three assessment strategies to identify suicide risk in adolescents and transition age youth.
Describe interventions that reduce the risk of suicide in adolescents and transition age youth.
Suicide Prevention in the Acute Setting
This course will provide you with information about the numerous risk and protective factors of suicide. You will learn effective screening approaches you can use to identify elevated risk. You will also learn how to follow a positive screening with an in-depth clinical assessment, including several different models you can use to guide your assessment.
