Strengthening Patient Safety: Skills for Safe and High-Quality Care
Patient safety is one of the central goals of modern healthcare. It means identifying risks, preventing harm, and ensuring high-quality care for all people.
The continuing education program “Patient Safety in Healthcare – Master of Science (Continuing Education)” provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to systematically improve patient safety. Students learn to analyze processes, identify risks, and implement evidence-based measures that contribute to safe care.
Core topics include developing a lived culture of safety, preventing medical errors, protecting patients’ rights, and strategies for infection prevention. Graduates of the program are therefore able to actively contribute to the further development of quality and safety in healthcare and to sustainably strengthen patient-centered care.
Patient safety is an ongoing process. It arises where expertise, reflection, and responsibility come together.
This master’s program is designed for people who want to question existing structures, analyze complex issues, and drive concrete improvements. We aim to educate leaders who actively shape safety through strategic thinking, interdisciplinary dialogue, and scientific excellence.
