Patient Safety Culture in hospitals.
Introduction.
Patient safety is an issue of global public health concern. It refers to preventing patients from harm by implementing a care system that contains errors and learns from medical errors to build a safety culture involving healthcare workers, patients, and healthcare organizations. The safety of patients is critical in care quality. Many patients worldwide have suffered injuries, disabilities, and death due to medical errors or unsafe care. Patient safety culture can be defined as healthcare organizations' values about what is essential and how to operate to protect patients. To achieve a safe culture, organizations and their members must understand the values, norms, and beliefs about essential and attitudes and behaviors related to patient safety (Ali et al., 2018).
To achieve a culture of safety, organizations should emphasize addressing disparities in the quality of care because the current challenges may worsen the efforts to narrow the gap. The key issues in establishing and providing accessible, responsive, and effective health systems are quality and safety. Poor quality and unsafe patient care increase mortality and morbidity rates throughout the world. About 75% of the healthcare delivery gaps are preventable, and approximately 10% of inpatient admission result from preventable patient harm (Amiri et al., 2018).
Patient safety cultures with strong collaboration and leadership drive and prioritize safety (Wu et al., 2019). Strong leadership and commitment from manger are essential because their attitudes and actions influence the wider workforce's behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes. The other important aspects of patient safety culture include; effective communication, mutual trust, shared views on the importance of patient safety, engaging the healthcare workforce, acknowledging mistakes, and having a system that recognizes, responds, and gives feedback on adverse events (Alquwez et al., 2018). Patient safety culture is influenced by burnouts, hospital characteristics, communication, position, work area, commitment to the patient safety program, leadership, and patient safety resources and management.
Thesis statement.
Patient safety culture focuses on safety in health care by emphasizing the prevention, reporting, and investigation of medical errors that may cause patients' adverse effects, thus reducing harm by implementing necessary measures. Several factors are affecting the culture of patient safety in hospitals. This paper highlights patient safety culture and the factors affecting patient safety culture in public hospitals.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

• Wrong-site surgery
• Restraint-related injuries or death
• Falls
• Burns
• Pressure ulcers
• Mistaken identity
7. Hospital staff at all levels should play a role in implementing the
following best practices for fewer errors due to mistaken identity.
•Electronic fields with patient identification data should use consistent,
standard identifier and naming conventions.
•Use a confirmation process to match each patient with the
documentation in the medical record.
•Use standard attributes and formats in all transactions
•Display patient data in a standard format
•Include specific alerts and notification to help with proper
identification
8. System made errors
This result in the hospital not providing conducive
working environment. It involves making hospital
policies that aim at increasing patient safety and to
reduce harm to the bearest minimum.
9. THEORY SUPPORTING PATIENT SAFETY
Abraham Maslow’s Hierachy of Needs Theory: It was propounded by
an American Psychologist and leading exponent of humanities
psychologist, (Abraham Harold Maslow (1908-1970) Year of
publication of theory 1943.
Safety Needs
When physiological needs are relatively satisfied, the individuals safety
needs take precedence and dominate behaviour. These include needs
for a sense of security and predictability in the world. The person tries
to maintain the condition that allows him or her to feel safe and avoid
danger.
Maslow thought that inadequate fulfillment of these needs might
explain neurotic behaviour and other emotional problems in some
people.
10. FACTORS THAT INCREASE THE RISK OF HUMAN ERROR
Limited short-term: Because Nurses have continuously changes in information in
busy hospital, systems that rely on human memory are prone to failure.
Being late or in a hurry: People start cutting corners when they are late or in a
hurry, although it makes the work to be quicker but contributes to the possibility of
missing an important details or piece of information that cause client harm.
Limited ability to multi-task: People perform better at a single task.
Interruption: Many interruptions occur in complex environments such as a hospital
(example alarming call lights and telephone calls).
Stress: Stress causes anxiety and anxiety affects performance.
Fatigue and other physiological factors: Studies shows that fatigue affects a
person’s ability to process complex information.
Environmental factors: Heat, noise, distractions, visual stimuli a lighting can affect
performance and lead to mistakes. Workplace design is a part of keeping clients
and staff safe. Leonard et al, (2004).
11. Tips in improving patient safety
Health education: Health educating the patients on the importance of being involved in
his/her care. It includes asking patient about their goal, background, their health history and
the need to be involved about the drugs regimen.
Use of standard safety precautions when attaining to the patient: Example wearing of face
mask, latex gloves. This helps to reduce nosocomial infections.
Reduction of working hours for health care providers: Statistics here show that fatigue
increases the chances of making mistakes.
Increased manpower: Increased manpower can help to improve patient safety in the
hospital. Short staffing results in fatigue and error when managing of the patients.
Team work: Health care providers working as a team, helps to improve the patient safety.
Evidence based practices: It helps to prevent medical errors as system failure rather than
individual accountable and seek way to improve
Use of good hospital design: It involves making the hospital environment safe for patient, it
includes well developed patient rooms and bathrooms to prevent fall.
12. Importance of patient safety
Adequate patient safety helps to prevent increase length of stay in
the hospital.
Adequate patient safety prevents poor communication within the
health care providers.
Patient safety helps the patient to be involved or familiar with
his/her care or health information.
It encourages team work among the health care providers.
It improves the quality of care given to the patients.
Inconsistent staffing levels, long working hours and poor Physical
design of the workplace, are potential sources of human errors,
which results in reduced patient safety in the hospital.
13. Patient Safety Issues for 2018 by Emergency Care Research
Emergency care research institute is a mono-profit organization that studies
how to improve patients care. The list serves as a catalyze for discussion about
the top patient safety issues faced by organizations;
* Diagnostic errors.
* Opioid safety across the continuum of care.
* Internal care co-ordination.
*Work rounds, in which staffs bend work rules to circumvent or temporarily fix
a real or perceived barrier or system flaw.
* Incorporating health industrial training into patient safety programs.
* Management of behavioural health, needs in acute care settings.
* All-hazards emergency preparedness.
*Device cleaning, disinfection and sterilization.
*Patient engagement and health literacy.
*Leadership engagement in patient safety.
14. National Patient Safety Goals
Improve the accuracy of patient identification. E.g. use at least two
patient identifies. Prior to the start of any procedure, conduct a
final verification process to confirm the correct patient, procedure,
site and availability of appropriate documents.
Improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers.
Improve the safety of using medications.
Reduce the risk of health care associated infections by using hand
hygiene guidelines.
Accurately and completely reconcile medications across the
continuum of care.
Reduces the risk of patient’s harm resulting from falls.
15. SUMMARY
Patient safety has become a critical concept in health care
system and its importance cannot be over emphasized.
There is urgent need for all health care providers to make
sure that patient safety is the main priority that every
health care facility across the nation. Patient safety has to
do with the extra care given to patients by the health care
givers to accelerate the recovery of the patient, and to
prevent further harm to the patient.
