Download or read book To Err Is Human written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That's more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDSâ€"three causes that receive far more public attention. Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries. Add the financial cost to the human tragedy, and medical error easily rises to the top ranks of urgent, widespread public problems. To Err Is Human breaks the silence that has surrounded medical errors and their consequenceâ€"but not by pointing fingers at caring health care professionals who make honest mistakes. After all, to err is human. Instead, this book sets forth a national agendaâ€"with state and local implicationsâ€"for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety through the design of a safer health system. This volume reveals the often startling statistics of medical error and the disparity between the incidence of error and public perception of it, given many patients' expectations that the medical profession always performs perfectly. A careful examination is made of how the surrounding forces of legislation, regulation, and market activity influence the quality of care provided by health care organizations and then looks at their handling of medical mistakes. Using a detailed case study, the book reviews the current understanding of why these mistakes happen. A key theme is that legitimate liability concerns discourage reporting of errorsâ€"which begs the question, "How can we learn from our mistakes?" Balancing regulatory versus market-based initiatives and public versus private efforts, the Institute of Medicine presents wide-ranging recommendations for improving patient safety, in the areas of leadership, improved data collection and analysis, and development of effective systems at the level of direct patient care. To Err Is Human asserts that the problem is not bad people in health careâ€"it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer. Comprehensive and straightforward, this book offers a clear prescription for raising the level of patient safety in American health care. It also explains how patients themselves can influence the quality of care that they receive once they check into the hospital. This book will be vitally important to federal, state, and local health policy makers and regulators, health professional licensing officials, hospital administrators, medical educators and students, health caregivers, health journalists, patient advocatesâ€"as well as patients themselves. First in a series of publications from the Quality of Health Care in America, a project initiated by the Institute of Medicine

Download or read book Preventing Medication Errors written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-01-11 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: Second in a series of publications from the Institute of Medicine's Quality of Health Care in America project Today's health care providers have more research findings and more technology available to them than ever before. Yet recent reports have raised serious doubts about the quality of health care in America. Crossing the Quality Chasm makes an urgent call for fundamental change to close the quality gap. This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: A set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system. A set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships. A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality. Key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.

Download or read book Implementation of Barcode Medication Administration System in Public Sector Medical Units in the UAE written by Safa Al Mustafa and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient safety and quality of care are a priority for the healthcare sector worldwide; this is mandated by global and international organizations World Health Organization (WHO, 2013, 2017), and local health authorities in UAE, for instance the Department of Health (DoH), the regulatory body in the Emirates of Abu Dhabi. As per JCIA "Joint Commission International Accreditation "patient safety[sic] is the first goal of the International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG), having the potential to affect patient life significantly; however, there is an increase in the cost of healthcare services, arising from dealing with subsequent patient complications and the cost of legal liabilities, and causing inefficient utilization of healthcare organization resources. To prevent medication errors, healthcare infrastructures have started to focus on establishing an efficient, reliable, and usually electronic medication administration process and management. However, mainly human who are vulnerable and prone to errors control the current process. Barcode medication administration (BCMA) is one of the latest technologies used to respond to this problem, and it offers a solution that may contribute to improved [sic] safety. The main objectives of this study are to determine the preparatory needs for introducing a Barcode Medication Administration System (BCMA) and to identify, categorize, and prioritize the main criteria for a successful implementation of this technology in healthcare facilities, and to draw a roadmap for effective and efficient implementation of the system. This would lay the groundwork for generalizing BCMA in the UAE health system and highlight the main factors that would lead to successful BCMA implementation. This study would also help to identify challenges and facilitators that affect new technological adoptions in the healthcare system in the UAE and prioritize them to inform similar technology implementation projects in the future. This research was conducted in four different medical units with a 300-bed capacity located in a tertiary public hospital in the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Nurses, who are usually the expert clinicians responsible for administering medication, were used as the population for this study. An extensive literature review was performed to develop a theoretical framework, and twenty expert nurses were interviewed through a simple, pairwise-comparison questionnaire. An analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was employed to describe systematic decision-making by identifying and prioritizing the different factors that affect the successful implementation of BCMA technology. Major factors were identified following the data analysis, and these were organized in domains that included leadership-related factors, technology -related factors, process-related factors, education-related factors, and quality-and safety -related factors. Interestingly, leadership-related factor was the most important factors with the highest priority weight, followed by process-and education-related factors.
