Academic accreditation standards for healthcare quality and safety (HQS) master's programs were developed. Key foundational domains include safety science, improvement science, evidence-based practice, and measurement for quality education.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Educational Accreditation
Background:
- Master's programs in Healthcare Quality and Safety (HQS) have grown substantially.
- Academic accreditation ensures program quality and relevance for stakeholders.
- Accreditation is crucial for maintaining high standards in HQS education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development of content domains and accreditation standards for graduate HQS programs.
- To establish criteria for ensuring the quality of HQS education.
Main Methods:
- Collaboration among faculty from 9 universities under the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education.
- Identification and definition of 13 content domains for HQS graduate programs.
Main Results:
- Thirteen content domains were identified for HQS graduate program accreditation.
- Four domains were identified as foundational: safety and error science, improvement science and quality principles, evidence-based practice, and measurement and process improvement.
Conclusions:
- The developed content domains and standards provide a framework for accrediting HQS graduate programs.
- These standards aim to ensure comprehensive and high-quality education in healthcare quality and safety.
