Quality Management and Patient Safety

In the fifth edition of "Modern nursing: problem trends and management", Cherry and Jacob said, "Quality management is a philosophical framework of the management organization and the quality of recognition depends on customer needs and expectations I will emphasize the way of work. " Medical quality management is closely related to the quality of medical services provided. what?

Risk management, quality improvement and patient safety work will ultimately affect clinical errors, but everyone has different focus. Table 1.1 distinguishes the focus and components of the three frameworks. In many cases, each of these elements has little communication, integration and collaboration and is managed in different parts of the organization (ECRI Institute, 2009) and it is not effective. Risk is defined as an opportunity to lose. The purpose of the risk management plan is "to protect the organization from risks associated with accidental losses, regardless of cause" (McCaffrey & Hagg-Rickert, 2009, page 8). By definition, this focus is primarily focused on organizations that include financial direction and motivation. Risk managers monitor and intervene to prevent or mitigate patient care, medical staff, employees, property and financial losses.

The patient safety structure is a useful tool to systematize corrective medical improvement. By reducing patient injuries from clinical concerns, organizations can also reduce the risk of liability and improve the quality of care. Patient safety is a cohesive framework that makes it possible to provide healthcare in a coordinated way rather than a fragmented way. By focusing on patient care, treatment systems, caregivers, and health care workers in four areas, corrective medical leaders can effectively utilize resources to maximize their strengths.

Patient safety is the basis of high quality medical care. Many of the tasks of defining patient safety and preventing injurious behavior focus on poor care such as mortality and morbidity. Nurses are important to reduce the monitoring and adjustment of such adverse effects. There are still many things to do to assess the impact of care on positive quality indicators, such as appropriate self-care and other measures to improve health.
