A Safer Place to Work
Author: Great Britain. National Audit Office
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Health services administration
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Staff absences in the NHS due to sickness represent an average of 4.9 per cent across all NHS trusts, compared with an average of 3.7 per cent for all public administration, education and health employees. Staff accidents and other health and safety issues, such as violence and aggression against NHS staff, are major factors in staff absences. In 2001-02, recorded incidents of violence and aggression increased by 13 per cent and recorded accidents by 24 per cent against the 2000-01 baseline. In some NHS trusts the number of accidents had fallen due to improved training and practices, but in others there had been an increase due to improved awareness and reporting, while in all trusts there remained a significant problem of under-reporting of accidents.

Making Healthcare Safe
Author: Lucian L. Leape
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030711234
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
This unique and engaging open access title provides a compelling and ground-breaking account of the patient safety movement in the United States, told from the perspective of one of its most prominent leaders, and arguably the movement’s founder, Lucian L. Leape, MD. Covering the growth of the field from the late 1980s to 2015, Dr. Leape details the developments, actors, organizations, research, and policy-making activities that marked the evolution and major advances of patient safety in this time span. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, this book not only comprehensively details how and why human and systems errors too often occur in the process of providing health care, it also promotes an in-depth understanding of the principles and practices of patient safety, including how they were influenced by today’s modern safety sciences and systems theory and design. Indeed, the book emphasizes how the growing awareness of systems-design thinking and the self-education and commitment to improving patient safety, by not only Dr. Leape but a wide range of other clinicians and health executives from both the private and public sectors, all converged to drive forward the patient safety movement in the US. Making Healthcare Safe is divided into four parts: I. In the Beginning describes the research and theory that defined patient safety and the early initiatives to enhance it. II. Institutional Responses tells the stories of the efforts of the major organizations that began to apply the new concepts and make patient safety a reality. Most of these stories have not been previously told, so this account becomes their histories as well. III. Getting to Work provides in-depth analyses of four key issues that cut across disciplinary lines impacting patient safety which required special attention. IV. Creating a Culture of Safety looks to the future, marshalling the best thinking about what it will take to achieve the safe care we all deserve. Captivatingly written with an “insider’s” tone and a major contribution to the clinical literature, this title will be of immense value to health care professionals, to students in a range of academic disciplines, to medical trainees, to health administrators, to policymakers and even to lay readers with an interest in patient safety and in the critical quest to create safe care.

The Report of the Morecambe Bay Investigation
Author: Bill Kirkup
Publisher:

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
For the great majority, pregnancy and childbirth should be a positive and happy experience that culminates in a healthy mother and baby. This means, however, that on those occasions when things do go wrong, the effects are even more devastating than in other areas of healthcare. Maternity care must reconcile these dual aspects in order to be safe, effective and responsive. When it does not, the consequences may be stark. This Report details a distressing chain of events that began with serious failures of clinical care in the maternity unit at Furness General Hospital, part of what became the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. The result was avoidable harm to mothers and babies, including tragic and unnecessary deaths. What followed was a pattern of failure to recognise the nature and severity of the problem, with, in some cases, denial that any problem existed, and a series of missed opportunities to intervene that involved almost every level of the NHS. These events have finally been brought to light thanks to the efforts of some diligent and courageous families, who persistently refused to accept what they were being told. Those families deserve great credit. This Report includes detailed and damning criticisms of the maternity unit, the Trust and the regulatory and supervisory system. This Report sets out why that is and how it could have been avoided.
