Abstract:

Introduction: Medical errors are major hazards, and lapses in non-technical skills such as situational awareness contribute to most incidents. Risks are concentrated in acute care, and in crisis situations clinicians can apparently ignore vital information. Poor workplace ergonomics contributes to risk. Existing work into perceptual errors offers insights, but these phenomena have been little researched in medicine. This thesis considers medical non-technical skills and how they are taught, and explores vulnerability to inattentional and change blindness. Methods: Medical human factors and the

Abstract:

Clinicians rely heavily on accurate laboratory results to diagnose and treat their patients. Laboratory errors can occur in any area of total testing phases, but more than half of the errors occur in the preanalytical phase. Framed by the total quality management theory, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore medical laboratory managers' strategies to reduce preanalytical errors.

Abstract:

Many errors do not lead to adverse consequences for patients, but all errors can have a devastating impact on the health professional that has made the mistake; they are described as the 'second victim' (Wears & Wu, 2000; Wu, 2000). Errors often lead to professional and personal distress, which has implications for the quality and safety of patient care. This thesis explores the impact of making a medical error on the health professional and the strategies used to cope. The objectives of this work are to a) understand health professional's response, b) increase the evidence base about coping w

The number of prehospital deaths caused by large bleedings could be decreased if civilian people would act in time to help the injured patient. One way to help is to stop the bleeding with a tourniquet application. However, the tourniquet needs to be placed correctly in order to stop the bleeding. Therefore laypersons need to be educated in bleeding control to increase the rate of successful tourniquet application.

Abstract:

Pharmacist prescribing in an anaesthetic-led pre-admission clinic. This thesis investigates if a doctor-pharmacist collaborative prescribing model provides better care than the usual (medical) prescribing model in a medium sized hospital, anaesthetic-led pre-admission clinic setting. The doctor-pharmacist collaborative prescribing model was found to improve safety and quality of prescribing patients’ usual home medications, and provided better compliance for appropriate surgical antibiotic prophylaxis prescribing versus the usual prescribing model of care. Other benefits are saved doctor ti

Abstract:

Охорона здоров'я є однією з найважливіших галузей соціальної сфери України, що нараховує тисячі медичних установ. Праця медичних працівників безпосередньо пов'язана з реалізацією конституційного права людини і громадянина на охорону здоров'я, медичну допомогу і медичне страхування. Ефективна організація праці медичних працівників є одним з основних факторів, що забезпечують суспільне та особисте здоров'я і, як наслідок, обумовлює соціальну стабільність у суспільстві.

Abstract:

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>There is a growing trend towards the use of point of care testing in resource poor settings, in particular in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria. The Alere PIMA CD4 counter is widely used as a point of care device in the staging and management of HIV. While the instrument has been extensively validated and shown to be comparable to central laboratory testing, little is known about the error rates of these devices, as well as the factors that contribute to er

Abstract:

Every year, 2 million patients in the United States suffer with at least 1 hospital-acquired infection resulting in an estimated 99,000 deaths annually. The purpose of this exploratory single case study was to explore strategies healthcare managers in U.S. hospitals used to reduce hospital-acquired infections. The study included face-to-face, semistructured interviews with 5 healthcare managers from a hospital in Maryland who were successful in reducing these infections. The conceptual framework was human capital theory. Field notes, hospital documents, and transcribed interviews were analyzed

Abstract:

Medical error and patient safety have become important issues. It is clear that medical error is more influenced by systemic factors rather than human characteristics. Communication patterns, in particular interruptive communication, maybe one of the systemic factors that contribute to the burden of medical error. Objective: An exploratory study to examine interruptive communication patterns of healthcare staff within an intensive care unit during ward rounds. Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Sydney, Australia. Nine participants were observed individually, for

<p>I den svenska vården drabbas uppskattningsvis var tionde patient av en vårdskada, det vill säga en undvikbar skada direkt orsakad av vården (Socialstyrelsen, 2008; Ödegård, 2007). Vårdskador ska registreras som avvikelser som sedan ska analyseras för att finna orsak och ligga till grund för förbättringsarbete (Socialstyrelsen, 2008). Syftet med studien är att beskriva innehållet i de patientavvikelser som registrerats av personal på sjukhus. Innehållet beskrivs avseende vilka händelser som registrerats och vårdpersonalens beskrivningar av händelseförloppet. Studien innehåller både kvalitati
