Abstract

The Department of Patient Safety Promotion of the Japan Council for Quality Health Care（JCQHC）has offered a workshop on patient safety in central venous catheterization（CVC）since 2009. The purpose of the workshop is to increase patient safety at hospitals accredited by JCQHC, offer cutting-edge techniques of CVC, and discuss the management of hospital CVC. Follow-up questionnaires six month after the workshop reveal that many physicians play an important role in increasing patient safety in CVC.
