Call for Paper: Track 2: Patient Safety 11NHPSUCG on November15-17, 2022 | San Francisc

Introduction:

The growing complexity of healthcare systems and the resulting increase in patient injury in healthcare institutions gave rise to the medical specialty of patient safety . It tries to avoid and lessen risks, mistakes, and harms that patients experience when receiving medical treatment.

The purpose of the patient safety ?is to offer some basic definitions that connect patient safety and high-quality medical care . Evidence indicating nurses are in a vital position to enhance patient safety through patient safety interventions and methods is summarized.

Do you have a passion to know about Nursing, healthcare management & Patient safety? Have something important to present? If you are interested then grab your place at the CME/CPD accredited?11th World Nursing, Healthcare Management, and Patient Safety Conference on November 15-17, 2022 in San Francisco, USA.

Quality Care:

Patient safety is frequently seen as existing under the general umbrella of high-quality healthcare . For instance, according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), providing high-quality medical care and ensuring patient safety are "indistinguishable." Early thinkers like Aristotle and Plato thought about quality and its characteristics. In actuality, excellence was one of the great Western notions. Quality, according to Harteloh3's analysis of many conceptualizations of the notion, "[is] an optimal balance between possibilities realized and a framework of norms and values." The fact that quality is an abstraction and does not exist as a distinct entity is reflected in this conceptual definition. Instead, it is created by interaction between relevant parties who concur on the standards (the norms and values) and elements.

Standards-based definitions of health care quality have been made by work organizations like the IOM. Quality was originally described by the IOM as "the extent to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge."??Consequently, a definition of quality that resembled a set of quality indicators—which are manifestations of the standards—was produced. The options or conceptual clusters for these indicators are not necessarily included in these standards. Additionally, rather than more beneficial aspects of quality, the majority of clusters of quality indicators were and frequently still are composed of the 5Ds—death, disease, disability, discomfort, and dissatisfaction.

Patient Safety:

The health care quality movement has produced a definition for patient safety that is equally abstract and uses a variety of methods to address the more fundamentally tangible elements. The IOM described patient safety as "the prevention of damage to patients." The system of care delivery that (1) prevents errors, (2) learns from the errors that do occur, and (3) is based on a culture of safety that encompasses patients, organizations, and healthcare professional is highlighted. The phrase "freedom from accidental or preventable injuries induced by medical care " is defined as prevention of harm in the dictionary on the AHRQ Patient Safety Network website.

Patient safety procedures are those "that lower the risk of adverse outcomes connected to exposure to medical care across a spectrum of diseases or disorders," according to the definition given. Because so many activities have not been thoroughly examined in terms of their effectiveness in preventing or lessening harm, this definition is both concrete and quite incomplete.

The following procedures are those that are deemed to have enough supporting data to be categorized as patient safety procedures.

·????????Appropriate prophylaxis in patients at risk to prevent venous thromboembolism

·????????Preventing perioperative morbidity and death by the use of perioperative beta-blockers in the right patients

·????????To prevent infections, use the greatest amount of sterile barriers when inserting central intravenous catheters.

·????????Antibiotic prophylaxis is used appropriately in surgical patients to prevent postoperative infections.

·????????To ensure that patients have understood what has been explained to them during the informed-consent process, have them repeat what has been said to them.

·????????Subglottic secretions should be continuously aspirated to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia.

·????????Utilizing pressure-relieving bedding to avoid pressure sores

·????????To avoid difficulties, real-time ultrasonography guidance should be used when inserting a central line.

·????????In order to avoid difficulties, proper nutrition should be provided, with an emphasis on early enteral nutrition in critically ill and surgical patients.

·????????Use of central venous catheters infused with antibiotics to prevent catheter-related illnesses

?Numerous patient safety practices , including the use of simulators, bar coding, computerized physician order entry, and crew resource management, have been thought of as potential strategies to prevent patient safety errors and enhance healthcare processes. Research has been conducted in these areas, but there are still countless opportunities for additional study. The later chapters of this handbook contain a review of the evidence that has been deemed to be crucial for nursing practice.

With their paper, standardizing a Patient Safety Taxonomy, the National Quality Forum sought to provide clarity and concreteness to the many definitions. According to this framework and taxonomy, harm is "a temporary or permanent impairment of physical or psychological body functions or structure" that results from a process of care failure. It should be noted that this classification only refers to the consequences of poor patient safety; it does not include factors that enhance safety and stop harm. Type (error), communication, patient management, and clinical performance are the classifications used to identify the root causes of the patient safety problem.

Regarding domain, or the range of healthcare providers and circumstances where they happened, the forms of errors and harm are further categorized. The following words are used to describe the primary sources of harm:

Latent failure - involving actions that have no direct connection to the practitioner and have an impact on organizational policies, procedures, and resource allocation

Active failure: direct patient contact

Failure of the organizational system - indirect failures including management, organizational culture, procedures/procedures, knowledge transfer, and outside variables

Technical failure - resources or infrastructure that fail inadvertently

Finally, a tiny portion of the taxonomy is devoted to activities that involve preventive or mitigation. These mitigating measures might be general (used throughout the company or healthcare settings), particular (applicable just in specified high-risk regions), or recommended.

Patient safety as the key to improving quality via nursing:

In the past, we have frequently limited our understanding of nursing 's role in patient safety to specific parts of patient care , such as reducing prescription errors and patient falls. Although these aspects of safety are still significant within the scope of nursing , patient safety and quality improvement are far more comprehensive and in-depth. The capacity to coordinate and integrate the various dimensions of quality within the direct nursing care and across the care provided by others in the setting is the nursing profession 's most important contribution to patient safety in any context. The oft-repeated conclusion that richer staffing—a higher proportion of registered nurses to other nursing staff—is linked to fewer complications and reduced mortality likely includes this integrative function .

Conclusion:

Although the cause of this association cannot be determined from these correlational studies, many believe it to be related to the professional nurses ' roles in integrating care (which includes intercepting other people's errors—near misses), as well as monitoring and surveillance that detects risks and patient deterioration before they become errors and adverse events. The abundance of process data that was present in the RAND research of Medicare mortality before and after the establishment of diagnosis-related groups is uncommon in studies. The RAND study showed that improved nurse and physician cognitive diagnostic and therapeutic judgments, more efficient diagnostic and therapeutic processes, and improved nursing surveillance were all associated with lower severity-adjusted mortality.
