AHRQ-funded Toolkit on CAPS Workshop Process

Consumers Advancing Patient Safety (CAPS) released a guide entitled "Building the Future for Patient Safety. Developing Consumer Champions - A Workshop and Resource Guide." The guide, which was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), describes the CAPS workshop process and methodology used for the World Health Organization's Patients for Patient Safety initiative to develop future-oriented consumer champions as partners in patient safety work. The guide includes related tools that provide examples of materials to assist in launching a workshop experience for consumer champions.
