Medvarsity partners Singhania University to enhance patient safety training. Medvarsity Online Ltd., a leader in online medical education, has partnered with Singhania University to provide in-depth knowledge and skills needed to improve healthcare quality and patient safety. The Master’s in Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety course is intended to upskill students to effectively monitor and improve quality metrics, along with enhancing safety for both the patients and the staff of health centers.

At every level of caregiving, there are chances of inherent safety issues that linger. With numerous medical negligence cases, it has become more apparent that patient safety is not being given the due importance it needs.  The notion of patient safety should, therefore, be the core of any healthcare delivery system. According to JCI, the international patient safety goals emphasize on aspects like effective communication, reduced risk of healthcare-associated infections, improved safety of high-alert medications and others, which ensure optimum patient safety.

“Healthcare quality and patient safety has been a core focus for Medvarsity as a means of expanding our impact in healthcare. Through our students, we’re building healthcare systems which are established on the culture of safety and quality. Partnering with Singhania University gives us a unique opportunity of leveraging their reputation & values and combining it with our reach & content expertise to make a difference.” says Mr. Gerald Jaideep, CEO, Medvarsity Online Ltd. about the partnership. 

Healthcare systems have increasingly started to focus on the quality of care and patient safety to strengthen the effectiveness of treatments and improved patient satisfaction. Therefore, healthcare entities, who directly or indirectly provide care for patients, need to possess distinct skills and knowledge to elevate standards of patient safety. Effective involvement in patient care, skilled healthcare professionals, data to drive safety improvements and clear policies are some aspects which will ensure significant advancements in the quality and safety of healthcare practices. Keeping this in mind, Medvarsity has aptly identified the necessity to upskill healthcare professionals on multiple aspects of healthcare quality and patient safety, through their unique program of Master’s in Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety.

 Mr. Amit Yadav, Pro Vice Chancellor, Singhania University expresses his views by saying “Medvarsity partners Singhania University to enhance patient safety training.
