Improving Patient Care by Reducing the Risk of Hospital Acquired Infection
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215025081
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The best available estimates suggest that annually there are at least 300,000 cases of hospital acquired infection, causing 5,000 deaths and costing the NHS £1 billion. This report follows on from a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General ( HC 876 2003-04, ISBN 0102929157) and examines the progress made by the Department of Health and NHS trusts in reducing the risks. It looks at three main areas: the extent and impact of hospital acquired infection; improving knowledge of and compliance with good infection control practice; improving infection control systems and management processes. The conclusion is that progress has been patchy, with a lack of urgency on several key issues such as ward cleanliness and hand hygiene. Progress has also been hampered by a lack of data, a national mandatory surveillance programme and evidence of the effectiveness of different intervention strategies

Listening and learning
Author: Great Britain: Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780102969191
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
This report is the first in an annual series and covers the first full year of the new complaint handling system for the NHS. The Ombudsman warns that the NHS is missing a rich source of free and readily available information about patients by failing to listen and learn from complaints. The report's scope includes previously unpublished data about the number and type of complaints received by the Ombudsman in 2009-10 for every trust and strategic health authority region in England. It shows how many complaints were received and the outcomes of the complaints investigated. It reveals that 15,579 health complaints were closed by the Ombudsman in 2009-10 and that the two most common reasons for complainants to be dissatisfied with the NHS were failings in clinical care and treatment and the attitude of staff - a poor explanation or an incomplete response were the most common reasons given for dissatisfaction with NHS complaint handling. It presents a perspective not seen before: a national picture of what happens when mistakes occur and the NHS fails to put things right and highlights how often the Ombudsman needs to get involved just to ensure the NHS apologises when a mistake has been made. As the report shows, poor complaint handling can make a difficult situation worse for patients and their families. Poorly handled complaints can also escalate, creating unnecessary demands on NHS resources whilst resolving complaints effectively need not be costly. The report also features patients' stories taken from the Ombudsman's case files
