The programme
Learning outcomes
Il Master si propone di formare professionisti in ambito sanitario in grado di valutare le diverse dimensioni e tipologie di rischio nei sistemi sanitari complessi e di strutturare ed implementare programmi di gestione del rischio stesso attraverso approcci di tipo sistemico; inoltre, mira a sviluppare le competenze necessarie per favorire lo sviluppo di processi assistenziali che vedano come prioritaria la centralità del paziente e la sua sicurezza. A tale scopo obiettivo del Master è anche quello di favorire lo sviluppo di una visione multidimensionale dei problemi che tenga conto dei diversi elementi che li compongono: organizzativi, tecnologici, relazionali, professionali, economici, logistico-ambientali, medico-legali, ecc…
Nell’ottica di sviluppare una professionalità di ampio contenuto scientifico e culturale il Master, quindi, non è centrato solo su obiettivi orientati alla dimensione professionali tecnico-scientifica ma anche a quella alutativa gestionale, enfatizzando in tal modo anche lo sviluppo di coerenti componenti personologiche.
Le figure professionali che si forma sono quelle del Clinical Risk Manager, dei responsabili della sicurezza del paziente e dei referenti RMSP di Unità Operative Sanitarie, esperti nella valutazione e gestione del rischio e della sicurezza del paziente operante sia a livello di unità operativa o di dipartimento, a livello territoriale o di presidio ospedaliero oppure a livello aziendale.

Altre informazioni
This Masters class proposes to train health service professionals capable of collaborating with risk and safety managers in the field of the quality management of clinical risk and safety concerning patients in a variety of health service structures (departments, services, operative units, in hospital and out-of-hospital care). These operators will need to develop competencies needed to achieve the objectives of risk management with the use of assessment instruments and techniques that are coherent with the nature of the context, the organization and the issues to be resolved. Furthermore, the Masters class aims at developing an integrated inter-professional training course that is based on an idea of healthcare management characterised by the continuous improvement of quality oriented towards patient centred assistance. Another objective of the class is to favour the development of a multidimensional vision of problem solving by taking into careful consideration the various elements that it contains: organisational, technological, relational, professional, economic, environmental and logistical, medical and legal, etc. In view of the development of a professional role that is both scientifically and culturally very broad, this Masters class, therefore, is not only focused on objectives oriented towards the technical and scientific dimensions of the profession, but also on those relating to management and assessment with an emphasis on the development of applicable personological traits.

Other useful things
Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU/ECTS credits): Italian university courses are based on the CFU system. 1 CFU is equal to 25 hours of study. The average annual academic workload for a full-time student is generally assumed to be 60 CFU. CFU and ECTS credits serve the same purpose and generally have the same value.Degree class: Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes that have the same learning objectives and activities are grouped into “degree classes". The educational content of each programme is set autonomously by each university; however, universities are required to include certain educational activities (and the corresponding number of CFU credits) set at the national level. These requirements are established in relation to each degree class. Degrees in the same class have the same legal value.
Double/Joint degrees: the Italian universities may establish degree programmes in partnership with other Italian or foreign universities. Upon completion of these courses, graduates are awarded a joint or double/multiple degree, one from each Partner University.
