4. Part III: EPF member survey on the Council
Recommendation on patient safety
5. Conclusions & key messages
Overview
What is Patient Safety?
• “The absence of preventable harm to a patient during the
process of health care. (WHO)
• In simple terms: “When things go right, nothing bad happens.”
(NHS Scotland)
• (process or discipline of patient safety): “the coordinated efforts
to prevent harm, caused by the process of health care itself, from
occurring to patients” (WHO)
• “Patient safety incident”: any healthcare-related event that was
unintended, unexpected and undesired and which could have or
did cause harm to patients. (Incl. adverse events, near misses)
Some terminology (ii)
• “Harm”: a patient’s health or quality of life is negatively affected
by any aspect of their interaction with health care.
• Some incidents of harm are preventable, while others are
recognised as complications of care.
• Examples:
– allergic reaction to a medication
– incision made in the wrong place on a patient scheduled for surgery
• Severity and impact of unintentional harm can range from a brief
inconvenience to a prolonged hospitalisation, disabling injury or
even death.
Source: NHS Scotland, http://www.evidenceintopractice.scot.nhs.uk/patient-safety/what-is-patient-safety.aspx
Some terminology (iii)
• Errors vs violations:
• Error = unintentional action
– Example of incorrectly executed plans as a result of attention failure: an
anaesthesist wants to adjust the airflow to a patient but turns the wrong
dial.
– Example of a plan that is not executed: a GP forgets to issue her promised
prescription for a patient after finishing her other home visits.
– Example of the wrong plan: initial misdiagnosis and wrong treatment.
• Violation = deliberate action, including negligence , medical
malpractice.
– Example: deliberately inadequate record-keeping because you are “too
busy”
– Deviation from accepted standards of practice (by action or omission)Source: NHS Scotland, http://www.evidenceintopractice.scot.nhs.uk/patient-safety/what-is-patient-safety.aspx
System vs individual?
The “Swiss cheese model”
Serious patient safety incidents are usually caused by multiple
systems failures
- only rarely by frontline hcp errors
- But hcp must be vigilant for even seemingly unimportant errors
- Any incident even “trivial” can be learned from
Patient safety needs a system approach – building patient safety
culture in organisations, no-blame no-shame reporting and
learning systems
Source: NHS Scotland, http://www.evidenceintopractice.scot.nhs.uk/patient-safety/what-is-patient-safety.aspx
Why is Patient Safety important
WHO estimates:
• “As many as 1 in 10 patients is harmed” while receiving hospital
care in developed countries
• “At any given time, 1.4 million people worldwide suffer from
infections acquired in hospitals.” “Ten facts about patient safety”, at www.who.int
• Medical errors and health-care related adverse events occur in
between 8-12% of EU hospitalizations (Conklin, A. Room for improvement; Strong patient
safety systems could limit health, social and economic harms from medical error. RAND Europe, 2009
http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_briefs/2009/RAND_RB9472.pdf)
EU citizens’ perceptions of healthcare:
• 50% think there is a risk of patients being harmed by hospital
care and 36% in primary care. (Special Eurobarometer 327, Patient safety and quality of healthcare,
April 2010. European Commission, http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/archives/ebs/ebs_327_en.pdf )
EPF involvement in Patient Safety
• EC Patient Safety & Quality Working Group
– EC Communication (2008) and
– Council Recommendation (2009)
– Reflection paper on quality
• Advocacy: EU legislation
– Directive on patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare
– Pharmacovigilance
– Falsified medicines
• EU Projects on patient safety
– EUNetPas (2008-2011)
– Joint Action PaSQ (2012-2015)
• Building partnerships and collaboration with WHO, health
professionals, other stakeholders
EU legislative framework in patient safety
• Health: EU has limited competence – Article 168 TFEU
– Responsibility for organisation of health systems and delivery of healthcare is
with the Member States
– Principles of subsidiarity & proportionality
– Union action shall complement national policies
 “Soft law” & collaboration for exchange of best practices
• Binding legislation (Reg & Dir) to harmonise MS laws in some
areas of exception, e.g. safety of medicines and devices, cross-
border healthcare:
– Article 168(4)(c) TFEU – “measures setting high standards of quality and safety
for medicinal products and devices for medical use”
– Article 114 TFEU – internal market
•
Council Recommendation (2009)
2. Empower and inform citizens and patients by:
(a) involving patient organisations and representatives in the development
of policies and programmes on patient safety at all appropriate levels;
(b) disseminating information to patients on:
(i) patient safety standards which are in place;
(ii) risk, safety measures which are in place to reduce or prevent
errors and harm, including best practices, and the right to
informed consent to treatment, to facilitate patient choice and
decision-making;
(iii) complaints procedures and available remedies and redress and
the terms and conditions applicable;
(c) considering the possibilities of development of core competencies in
patient safety namely, the core knowledge, attitudes and skills required to
achieve safer care, for patients.
“
”
• Following EUNetPas project (2008-2011)
• Developing permanent collaboration between EU Member
States and stakeholders in the field of quality of care, incl.
patient safety:
– support MS in implementing the Council Recommendation
– enhanced cooperation between MS in the field of quality
– sharing of good practices in patient empowerment and
involvement
• EPF is involved as Associate Partner in all core WPs
• Looking at good organisational practices (GOP) and good
clinical practices (SCP) involving patients
• www.pasq.eu
Joint Action PaSQ (2012-2015)
EU Pharmacovigilance legislation
Directive 2010/84 and Regulation 1235/2010
• Rules apply from: 2/12 July 2012
• NEW: 2 patient representatives in EMA PRAC (Pharmacovigilance
Risk Assessment Committee)
Marco Greco / EPF, Albert van der Zejden / IAPO
• NEW: direct patient reporting of ADRs in all EU MS – web + other
forms
• EPF 2012 toolkit on pharmacovigilance: guidance and
recommendations
• Feedback indicates: not much patient engagement, and low
awareness
• Potential for strengthening patients’ involvement & trust
Directive 2011/24/EU requires Member States to:
– Make publicly available their safety and quality standards & guidelines;
– cooperate with each other on improving safety and quality standards;
– ensure information on health professionals’ right to practise is given to
other Member States
National Contact Points must provide patients all relevant info
“to enable them to make an informed choice”
EU legal basis for future actions in: safety & quality, eHealth, HTA,
European Reference Networks  closer cooperation between
Member States, more transparency, more patient involvement.
Directive on Cross-Border Healthcare
• The changing role of patients
•Patients moving from passive recipients of healthcare to active,
involved & politicised actors
•Patient-centredness is a key operating principle of EU health
systems
•But big gap between theory and practice …
•EPF: involvement of patients in patient safety needed both at
individual and collective levels
• “Patient safety – everyone’s business”
•1. Individual level:
•Individual patient’s experience of his/her healthcare “journey”
•Rich resource of information about gaps and failures in the
system
•Patients can contribute themselves – by getting actively involved
in their treatment
•Important to support and empower:
Information to patients
Health literacy
Communication with health professionals
Professionals' attitudes
Patient-friendly healthcare environment
• “Patient safety – everyone’s business”
•Important caveats:
• Respect patients’ willingness to get involved – or not
• Do not over-estimate patients’ capacity to get involved
• Patients in vulnerable situation – no shifting of burden of
“responsibility” on them
• Patients already observe much – healthcare staff need to
listen more, take their views seriously
•Appropriate support and enabling environment is key
2. Collective level:
•Patient organisations – role in
informing & educating patients
and health professionals
•Effective advocacy through
access to the community
• “Patient safety – everyone’s business”
•Involvement in co-designing healthcare services to make them more
patient-centred & meet real-life needs and preferences of patients
Important to involve patient organisations at policy
level
International, EU and Member States
WHO Patients for Patient Safety programme
• EPF survey on Council Recommendation
• Autumn 2012 - 2013

What in your opinion would help the implementation of the
Council Recommendation in your country?
• 46% of respondents are unaware of the CR…
• … but many respondents had some role in developing
patient safety information or participating in consultations
• Patient involvement poorly implemented
• EPF by far the most common source of information (75%)
followed by patient organisation at national level (18.8%)
• Patient organisations = important source of capacity-building
for patients
• 56% recommend involving patients and citizens more in
promoting patient safety in their country
• EPF survey shows:
• New EU legislation and initiatives = a need and an opportunity to
increase patients’ engagement with PS and patients’ collective
involvement at policy level
• Foster PI and patient-health professional collaboration  cultural
shift towards more patient-centred health systems, public trust
• More research needed to define best practices in patient
involvement in PS
• Need to activate EPF membership & create awareness of this
priority area
• Need to formulate a strategy for EPF – objectives & priority actions
• Integrated approach: policy, projects, membership &
communications
• Conclusions & key messages

• Patient/public empowerment
•A multi-dimensional process that helps people gain control over
their own lives and increases the capacity of people to act on issues
that they themselves define as important.
•(Luttrell et al. (2009), Understanding and operationalising empowerment. Overseas Development Institute
working paper.)
•A process through which individuals and social groups are able to
express their needs, present their concerns, devise strategies for
involvement in decision-making, and take political, social, and
cultural action to meet those needs.
• (Deepening our Understanding of Quality improvement in Europe; http://www.duque.eu/)
• Elements: Information – Informed consent – feedback loop –
enabling and supportive healthcare environment – health
professional’s training

”
• Patient/public involvement
•The extent to which patients and their families or caregivers,
whenever appropriate, participate in decisions related to their
condition (e.g. through shared decision-making, self-management)
and contribute to organisational learning through their specific
experience as patients (e.g. patient reporting of adverse events or
participation in root cause analysis related to their care).
•Collective patient/public involvement is the extent to which
patients and citizens, through their representative organisations,
contribute to shaping the health care system through involvement
in health care policy-making, organisation and delivery.

Patients at the Centre of Patient Safety by EPF

  • 1. Kaisa Immonen-Charalambous 21 November 2013, Brussels EPF WORKSHOP ON PATIENT SAFETY ‘‘PATIENTS AT THE CENTRE OF PATIENT SAFETY ’’
  • 2. 1. What is patient safety? 2. Overview of the EU legislative framework and opportunities for patients’ involvement 3. The patients’ role in patient safety 4. Part III: EPF member survey on the Council Recommendation on patient safety 5. Conclusions & key messages Overview
  • 3. What is Patient Safety? • “The absence of preventable harm to a patient during the process of health care. (WHO) • In simple terms: “When things go right, nothing bad happens.” (NHS Scotland) • (process or discipline of patient safety): “the coordinated efforts to prevent harm, caused by the process of health care itself, from occurring to patients” (WHO) • “Patient safety incident”: any healthcare-related event that was unintended, unexpected and undesired and which could have or did cause harm to patients. (Incl. adverse events, near misses)
  • 4. Some terminology (ii) • “Harm”: a patient’s health or quality of life is negatively affected by any aspect of their interaction with health care. • Some incidents of harm are preventable, while others are recognised as complications of care. • Examples: – allergic reaction to a medication – incision made in the wrong place on a patient scheduled for surgery • Severity and impact of unintentional harm can range from a brief inconvenience to a prolonged hospitalisation, disabling injury or even death. Source: NHS Scotland, http://www.evidenceintopractice.scot.nhs.uk/patient-safety/what-is-patient-safety.aspx
  • 5. Some terminology (iii) • Errors vs violations: • Error = unintentional action – Example of incorrectly executed plans as a result of attention failure: an anaesthesist wants to adjust the airflow to a patient but turns the wrong dial. – Example of a plan that is not executed: a GP forgets to issue her promised prescription for a patient after finishing her other home visits. – Example of the wrong plan: initial misdiagnosis and wrong treatment. • Violation = deliberate action, including negligence , medical malpractice. – Example: deliberately inadequate record-keeping because you are “too busy” – Deviation from accepted standards of practice (by action or omission)Source: NHS Scotland, http://www.evidenceintopractice.scot.nhs.uk/patient-safety/what-is-patient-safety.aspx
  • 6. System vs individual? The “Swiss cheese model” Serious patient safety incidents are usually caused by multiple systems failures - only rarely by frontline hcp errors - But hcp must be vigilant for even seemingly unimportant errors - Any incident even “trivial” can be learned from Patient safety needs a system approach – building patient safety culture in organisations, no-blame no-shame reporting and learning systems Source: NHS Scotland, http://www.evidenceintopractice.scot.nhs.uk/patient-safety/what-is-patient-safety.aspx
  • 7. Why is Patient Safety important WHO estimates: • “As many as 1 in 10 patients is harmed” while receiving hospital care in developed countries • “At any given time, 1.4 million people worldwide suffer from infections acquired in hospitals.” “Ten facts about patient safety”, at www.who.int • Medical errors and health-care related adverse events occur in between 8-12% of EU hospitalizations (Conklin, A. Room for improvement; Strong patient safety systems could limit health, social and economic harms from medical error. RAND Europe, 2009 http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_briefs/2009/RAND_RB9472.pdf) EU citizens’ perceptions of healthcare: • 50% think there is a risk of patients being harmed by hospital care and 36% in primary care. (Special Eurobarometer 327, Patient safety and quality of healthcare, April 2010. European Commission, http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/archives/ebs/ebs_327_en.pdf )
  • 8. EPF involvement in Patient Safety • EC Patient Safety & Quality Working Group – EC Communication (2008) and – Council Recommendation (2009) – Reflection paper on quality • Advocacy: EU legislation – Directive on patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare – Pharmacovigilance – Falsified medicines • EU Projects on patient safety – EUNetPas (2008-2011) – Joint Action PaSQ (2012-2015) • Building partnerships and collaboration with WHO, health professionals, other stakeholders
  • 9. EU legislative framework in patient safety • Health: EU has limited competence – Article 168 TFEU – Responsibility for organisation of health systems and delivery of healthcare is with the Member States – Principles of subsidiarity & proportionality – Union action shall complement national policies  “Soft law” & collaboration for exchange of best practices • Binding legislation (Reg & Dir) to harmonise MS laws in some areas of exception, e.g. safety of medicines and devices, cross- border healthcare: – Article 168(4)(c) TFEU – “measures setting high standards of quality and safety for medicinal products and devices for medical use” – Article 114 TFEU – internal market
  • 10. • Council Recommendation (2009) 2. Empower and inform citizens and patients by: (a) involving patient organisations and representatives in the development of policies and programmes on patient safety at all appropriate levels; (b) disseminating information to patients on: (i) patient safety standards which are in place; (ii) risk, safety measures which are in place to reduce or prevent errors and harm, including best practices, and the right to informed consent to treatment, to facilitate patient choice and decision-making; (iii) complaints procedures and available remedies and redress and the terms and conditions applicable; (c) considering the possibilities of development of core competencies in patient safety namely, the core knowledge, attitudes and skills required to achieve safer care, for patients. “ ”
  • 11. • Following EUNetPas project (2008-2011) • Developing permanent collaboration between EU Member States and stakeholders in the field of quality of care, incl. patient safety: – support MS in implementing the Council Recommendation – enhanced cooperation between MS in the field of quality – sharing of good practices in patient empowerment and involvement • EPF is involved as Associate Partner in all core WPs • Looking at good organisational practices (GOP) and good clinical practices (SCP) involving patients • www.pasq.eu Joint Action PaSQ (2012-2015)
  • 12. EU Pharmacovigilance legislation Directive 2010/84 and Regulation 1235/2010 • Rules apply from: 2/12 July 2012 • NEW: 2 patient representatives in EMA PRAC (Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee) Marco Greco / EPF, Albert van der Zejden / IAPO • NEW: direct patient reporting of ADRs in all EU MS – web + other forms • EPF 2012 toolkit on pharmacovigilance: guidance and recommendations • Feedback indicates: not much patient engagement, and low awareness • Potential for strengthening patients’ involvement & trust
  • 13.

  • 30. • 46% of respondents are unaware of the CR… • … but many respondents had some role in developing patient safety information or participating in consultations • Patient involvement poorly implemented • EPF by far the most common source of information (75%) followed by patient organisation at national level (18.8%) • Patient organisations = important source of capacity-building for patients • 56% recommend involving patients and citizens more in promoting patient safety in their country • EPF survey shows:
  • 31. • New EU legislation and initiatives = a need and an opportunity to increase patients’ engagement with PS and patients’ collective involvement at policy level • Foster PI and patient-health professional collaboration  cultural shift towards more patient-centred health systems, public trust • More research needed to define best practices in patient involvement in PS • Need to activate EPF membership & create awareness of this priority area • Need to formulate a strategy for EPF – objectives & priority actions • Integrated approach: policy, projects, membership & communications • Conclusions & key messages
