This eLearning program increases learners’ knowledge of the safety science model and provides guidance on how to implement safety principles across all divisions of ACS. The program includes information about helping ACS move towards integrating a systems approach to learning and improvement as it relates to responding to adverse events. Rather than a culture of blame, this new system focuses on accountability and addressing the underlying systemic factors that are often present when adverse events occur. Before attending this eLearning training, learners must complete an online pre-test.
