Book excerpt: In 1996 the Institute of Medicine launched the Quality Chasm Series, a series of reports focused on assessing and improving the nation's quality of health care. Preventing Medication Errors is the newest volume in the series. Responding to the key messages in earlier volumes of the seriesâ€"To Err Is Human (2000), Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), and Patient Safety (2004)â€"this book sets forth an agenda for improving the safety of medication use. It begins by providing an overview of the system for drug development, regulation, distribution, and use. Preventing Medication Errors also examines the peer-reviewed literature on the incidence and the cost of medication errors and the effectiveness of error prevention strategies. Presenting data that will foster the reduction of medication errors, the book provides action agendas detailing the measures needed to improve the safety of medication use in both the short- and long-term. Patients, primary health care providers, health care organizations, purchasers of group health care, legislators, and those affiliated with providing medications and medication- related products and services will benefit from this guide to reducing medication errors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medication errors due to improper medication reconciliation policies in many hospitals in the US are a big issue for our health care system. It is reported that 1.5 billion people experience medication errors each year in the US. These medication errors have the potential to harm and kill patients, and have in many cases. Besides this, medication errors are costly to the health care system. It is reported that the nation spends 3.5 billion dollars every year due to these medication errors. The cause of these errors point to the lack of proper medication reconciliation policies in effect. Many hospitals have out dated improper policies that need to be changed to insure the safety of patients. Research studies have shown the areas where error comes in such as, communication between health care professionals, incomplete patient medication list and lack of medication knowledge. Implementing a policy that targets these areas can help reduce the risk of error and eventually bring down the startling numbers of injuries and deaths, and the cost. Medication reconciliation at admission, transfer and discharge should be done in a way that requires health care professionals to check for the accuracy of current medication list by verifying list with doctors or pharmacy. At the point of transfer health care professionals should communicate any changes in medication that was added or taken away during visit. Last but not least nurses should have training and in-services on medication reconciliation to make sure it is being done properly.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The prevalence of medication errors has risen as patients are seen during different stages and settings in healthcare. Medication reconciliation (MR) is a process utilized to prevent medication errors by reviewing a patient's list of medications and identifying discrepancies. The literature demonstrates that education is effective in promoting MR. Therefore, the purpose of this evidence-based practice change project was to provide education to the medical staff on medication reconciliation, improve the staff knowledge and increase patient's ability to effectively managing their medication. A pre/post questionnaire was administered before the educational intervention session and following several observational telephonic medication reconciliations. In addition, patients were administered a survey following the observational telephonic medication reconciliation to provide insight into their telephonic medication reconciliation experience. The results of the comparison of the pre-and post-medication reconciliation questionnaire showed a 10% increase in the medical staff's knowledge on medication reconciliation. The patients' results were collected, and the results showed nearly 50% of patients reported an increase in confidence and motivation to self-manage their medications. These findings suggest that an MR education session successfully improved the medical staff's knowledge on the importance and the process of MR. The education PowerPoint is an effective and structured tool for teaching applicable and reliable medication reconciliation. As such, this process was also influential in creating awareness and active participation among patients' understanding of proper use of their medication, which may help prevent additional medication errors. Key words: telephonic medication reconciliation, preventing medication errors, patient safety, evidence-based practice, staff education " -- Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans should be able to count on receiving health care that is safe. To achieve this, a new health care delivery system is needed â€" a system that both prevents errors from occurring, and learns from them when they do occur. The development of such a system requires a commitment by all stakeholders to a culture of safety and to the development of improved information systems for the delivery of health care. This national health information infrastructure is needed to provide immediate access to complete patient information and decision-support tools for clinicians and their patients. In addition, this infrastructure must capture patient safety information as a by-product of care and use this information to design even safer delivery systems. Health data standards are both a critical and time-sensitive building block of the national health information infrastructure. Building on the Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Patient Safety puts forward a road map for the development and adoption of key health care data standards to support both information exchange and the reporting and analysis of patient safety data.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical errors contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality across our healthcare institutions. Due to the increasing complexity of the modern medical practice, a perfect storm of regulatory, market, social, and technical factors, and other competing priorities, created an environment that is primed for patient safety lapses. The spectrum of contributing variables - ranging from minor errors that subsequently escalate, poor communication, and protocol/process non-compliance (just to name a few) - is extensive and solutions are only recently being described. As such, there is a growing body of research and experiences that can help provide an organized framework - based on best practices and evidence-based medical principles - for healthcare organizations to develop, implement, and embrace. Based on the tremendous interest in the initial three volumes of our Vignettes in Patient Safety series, this fourth volume follows a similar model of outlining a patient safety case based on experiences that many clinicians can relate to, and then discusses various factors that may have contributed to a medical error, complication, and/or poor outcome. Building on a problem-based clinical vignette, each chapter then outlines an evidence-based approach to present any related literature, pertinent evidence, and potential contributing factors and solutions to common patient safety occurrences. By focusing on some of the best practices, structured experiences, and objective approaches to medical error genesis, the authors and editors hopefully can lend some insights into how we can make healthcare encounters for all patients, across all settings, better and safer.
