Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

2. WHAT IS AN INCIDENT?
Incident: It is an unplanned event within the
scope of this procedure that causes, or has the
potential to cause, an injury or illness and
damage to equipment, buildings, plant or the
natural environment.
In a health care facility, such as
a hospital, nursing home, or assisted living,
an incident report or accident report is a form
that is filled out in order to record details of an
unusual event that occurs at the facility, such as
an injury to a patient.
4. Near miss
A Near Miss is an unplanned event that did
not result in injury, illness, or damage – but
had the potential to do so.
Only a fortunate break in the chain of
events prevented an injury, fatality or
damage; in other words, a miss that was
nonetheless very near.
Sometimes a medication is prescribed
without considering the patient's allergies or
potential for significant drug interactions.
Fungus in the IV bottle detected just in time
5. No Harm
No harm means the incident occurred and
the patient was exposed, but no harm
resulted.
Eg:A blood transfusion being given to the
wrong patient but the patient was unharmed
because the blood was compatible.
Medication error causing no harm
Sudden equipment failure but no damage
done
6. Adverse Event
An unexpected incident related to system or
process failure which caused damage that was
not serious / lasting.
Housekeeping staff wash floor – forget to leave
warning sign – patient slips and falls
Dietary staff provides full diet meal to patient on
clear fluids
Patient in isolation – proper signage not posted
on door – housekeeper enters room without
proper attire/precautions
Theft of patient’s / hospital’s property.
Slip/Trip/Fall causing minor injuries.
Plaster falling on the patient minor injuries.
7. Sentinel Event
A sentinel event is a Patient Safety Event that
reaches a patient and results in
Death, Permanent harm, severe temporary
harm and intervention required to sustain life
Medication error causing death/ severe
complications.
Wrong site/ wrong patient/ wrong surgery
Instrument/sponge left in the surgical site by
mistake.
Plaster falling on the head causing death.
9. Purpose Of Incident
reporting
The purpose of the incident report is
to document the exact details of the occurrence
while they are fresh in the minds of those who
witnessed the event.
This information may be useful in the future
when dealing with liability issues stemming from
the incident.
To take corrective and preventive actions.
To find out the Root cause of the incident
To prevent such an incident in future by
providing proper training.
10.
11. When to report?
according to health care guidelines, the report
must be filled out as soon as possible following
the incident (but after the situation has been
stabilized).
This way, the details written in the report are as
accurate as possible.
Most incident reports that are written involve
accidents with patients, such as patient falls.
But most facilities will also document an
incident in which a staff member or visitor is
injured.
12. HOW TO REPORT AN
INCIDENT?
Obtain IR forms
Write your name
Select incident category
Select incident type
Write Date & time of incident
Write in detail about the incident
Submit to the concerned person
