This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient safety is fundamental to the provision of health care in all settings. However, avoidable adverse events, errors and risks associated with health care remain major challenges for patient safety globally. The Seventy-second World Health Assembly in 2019 adopted resolution WHA72.6 on global action on patient safety and mandated for development of a global patient safety action plan. This global action plan was adopted by Seventy-Fourth World Health Assembly in 2021 with a vision of “a world in which no one is harmed in health care, and every patient receives safe and respectful care, every time, everywhere”. The purpose of the action plan is to provide strategic direction for all stakeholders for eliminating avoidable harm in health care and improving patient safety in different practice domains through policy actions on safety and quality of health services, as well as for implementation of recommendations at the point of care. The action plan provides a framework for countries to develop their respective national action plans on patient safety, as well to align existing strategic instruments for improving patient safety in all clinical and health-related programmes.

Download or read book Textbook of Patient Safety and Clinical Risk Management written by Liam Donaldson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implementing safety practices in healthcare saves lives and improves the quality of care: it is therefore vital to apply good clinical practices, such as the WHO surgical checklist, to adopt the most appropriate measures for the prevention of assistance-related risks, and to identify the potential ones using tools such as reporting & learning systems. The culture of safety in the care environment and of human factors influencing it should be developed from the beginning of medical studies and in the first years of professional practice, in order to have the maximum impact on clinicians' and nurses' behavior. Medical errors tend to vary with the level of proficiency and experience, and this must be taken into account in adverse events prevention. Human factors assume a decisive importance in resilient organizations, and an understanding of risk control and containment is fundamental for all medical and surgical specialties. This open access book offers recommendations and examples of how to improve patient safety by changing practices, introducing organizational and technological innovations, and creating effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care systems, in order to spread the quality and patient safety culture among the new generation of healthcare professionals, and is intended for residents and young professionals in different clinical specialties.

Download or read book Patient Safety written by Claire Cox and published by Class Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-14 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few resources and books for professionals within the patient safety sector that use case studies to model the practical application of theories of patient safety incident investigation. Exploring these theories, this text brings together contributors from a variety of academic and healthcare professions, alongside those with lived experience, to help you understand some of the emerging theories of safety science and their practical application. The NHS’s approach to incident reporting in investigations, the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF), has given rise to new-found opportunities and freedom of investigation and incident management. This book aims to explore emerging safety sciences by leading experts and the practical application of them in differing clinical and organisational contexts. Written by people who work in patient safety, and with chapters on subjects such as System Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS), AcciMaps and Human Factors, this book is for everyone with an interest in how the landscape of patient safety is changing and how to apply good practice for the reduction of avoidable harm.

Download or read book Essentials for Quality and Safety Improvement in Health Care written by Christopher Ente and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient safety and quality improvement in health care remain a global priority. Subpar performance in health care, however, is still common more than a decade after the christening of patient safety in Africa. The core principle of safety and quality improvement systems is to identify and assess the root cause of failures in order to learn from them and devise a means to improve and to avoid recurrence. This book is designed to encourage, facilitate and empower healthcare workers in the development and implementation of strategically driven patient safety and quality improvement initiatives for safer healthcare systems and healthcare facilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) of Africa. It also highlights some of the profound challenges and barriers to designing and implementing patient safety and quality improvement interventions or programmes in the region and reiterates the need to remain focused and determined to work out solutions with confidence and overcome these barriers. In the book, chapters highlight six essential components crucial for achieving evolutionary progress in safety and quality improvement in a healthcare system: Standard operating procedure Audit Research Safety management Quality management Evaluation Practical steps in planning and conducting these six essential components are outlined with some specific features to aid learning and facilitate their implementation. The authors have experience and expertise in the medical practice gained in Africa and a decade of knowledge and experience from consultancy work in safety and quality improvement in health care within and outside the region. Essentials for Quality and Safety Improvement in Health Care: A Resource for Developing Countries is authored for both medical professionals and those from other professions who are interested in and enthusiastic about patient safety and healthcare quality and therefore willing to build a career in this field.

Download or read book Practical Approaches to Risk Minimisation for Medicinal Products written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk management of medicines is a wide and rapidly evolving concept and practice, following a medicine throughout its lifecycle, from first administration in humans through clinical studies and then marketing in the patient population at large. Previous reports from CIOMS I - VIII provided practical guidance in some essential components of risk management such as terminology and reporting of adverse drug reactions, management of safety information from clinical trials, and safety signal detection. Beyond the detection, identification, and characterization of risk, "risk minimization" is used as an umbrella term for the prevention or mitigation of an undesirable outcome. Risk management always includes tools for "routine risk minimization" such as product information, the format depending on the jurisdiction, to inform the patient and the prescriber, all of which serve to prevent or mitigate adverse effects. Until this current CIOMS IX document, limited guidance has been available on how to determine which risks need "additional risk minimization," select the appropriate tools, apply and implement such tools globally and locally, and measure if they are effective and valuable. Included in the report is a CIOMS framework for the evaluation of effectiveness of risk minimization, a discussion of future trends and developments, an annex specifically addressing vaccines, and examples from real life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The target audience for MATERNAL HEALTH; PREGNANCY, MORBIDITY, and MORTALITY: Volume 1, is for women who are or plan to become pregnant. For an easy comprehension, the book layout follows a unique order of events. Unfolding, in its 18 chapters is a true story of a first time pregnancy with a traumatic and painful cesarean delivery; whereas the epidural anesthesia nor the additional sedation failed to have worked. She felt increased pain and pressure (as her fascial incision was grasped with the Kocher clamps and sharply and bluntly dissected); before, during and after the delivery. All the while she suffered with severe eclampsia and was treated with Magnesium Sulfate to lower blood pressure and Betamethasone to develop the infant lungs due to a intra-uterine growth restriction resulting in a preterm birth. According to The Mayo Clinic, “It's common that someone who’s sedated may be aware for part or all of the procedure. Although very rare. Estimates vary, but about 1 or 2 people in every 1,000 may experience unintended intra-operative and even rarer to experience pain.” General anesthesia - Mayo Clinic.

Download or read book Patient Safety Now written by Suzette Woodward and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade or so, we have seen a multitude of improvement programmes and projects to improve the safety of patient care in healthcare. However, the full potential of these efforts and especially those that seek to address an entire system has not yet been reached. The current pandemic has made this more evident than ever. We have tended to focus on problems in isolation, one harm at a time, and our efforts have been simplistic and myopic. If we are to save more lives and significantly reduce patient harm, we need to adopt a holistic, systematic approach that extends across cultural, technological, and procedural boundaries. Patient Safety Now is about the fact that it is time to care for everyone impacted by patient safety, how we need to take the time to care for everyone in a meaningful way and how hospitals need to enable staff time to care safely. This book builds on the author’s two previous books on patient safety. Rethinking Patient Safety talked about ways in which we need to rethink patient safety in healthcare and describes what we’ve learned over the last two decades. Implementing Patient Safety talked about what we can do differently and how we can use those lessons learned to improve the way we implement patient safety initiatives and encourage a culture of safety across a healthcare system. Patient Safety Now unites the concepts, theories and ideas of the previous two books with updated material and examples, including what has been learned by patient safety specialists during a pandemic. Patient Safety Now provides the reader with a unique view of patient safety that looks beyond the traditional negative and retrospective approach to one that is proactive and recognizes the impact of conditions, behaviours and cultures that exist in healthcare on everyone. It is written not only for healthcare professionals and patient safety personnel, but for patients and their families who all want the same thing. Too often when things go wrong, relationships quickly become adversarial when in fact this can be avoided by recognizing that, rather than being in separate camps, there are shared needs and goals in relations to patient safety.
