Summary: “The Science of Safe Patient-Centered Care” is the topic on which MentorHealth, a leading provider of online training for the healthcare industry, is organizing a webinar on October 16. Dev Raheja, faculty at Florida Tech University, will be the speaker at this session.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Health Grades, an independent healthcare ratings organization, has just published some alarming data about the American healthcare system. It costs the exchequer a whopping $ nine billion a year in patient safety incidents. It has even more disturbing data: Nearly 100,000 patients died experiencing a patient safety incident during the years 2006-08. This was a very high ten percent of the total number of a million patient-safety incidents.
Large hospitals carry out 40 wrong surgeries every week and commit over 300 mistakes of one or another kind every day. A report by another source, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), concludes that over the last 30 years, Americans have seen their exposure to ionizing radiation from medical procedures go up by a shocking 700 percent. No noticeable improvement has been observed in important parameters of the overall healthcare scenario over the last decade.
This however, is spread very unevenly across the spectrum. The top five percent quality care providing hospitals had their patient safety incident cut down by nearly 50 percent. If hospitals at the lower rung of the healthcare spectrum could replicate the high standards set by these hospitals; the report says patient safety incidents could be brought down by over 218,000, resulting in over 22,000 fewer deaths.
This webinar will help participants to take their healthcare business to a level where they can match the top five percent. It will help them discover ways by which their healthcare settings could drastically reduce the number and rate of patient safety incidents. It will help them take their healthcare settings to standards already being implemented in some hospitals.
This webinar covers the following areas:
o The Etiologies of Unsafe Healthcare
o Safety culture is not enough
o Inadequate systems usually cause accidents, not inadequate people.
o The science of patient safety
o New paradigm: stop doing unsafe work, the ideas for safer care will automatically blossom
o Hazard Analysis methods
o Hazard mitigation methods
