Quality and safety processes in surgical wards.
Original language description
Aim Determine the quality and safety of some processes in surgical wards. Introduction Unfortunately patient harm from errors in health care is common in modern surgical practice1. Modern high-technology surgery carries significant dangers for the patient. It is now widely accepted that between 4% and 15% of patients are directly harmed by the care they receive in hospital 2-7 and an urgent need for improvement in the safety and quality of care is recognized8-10. Adverse events have been estimated to affect 3–16% of all hospitalized patients, and more than half of such events are known to be preventable 11,12. Surgical safety has therefore emerged as a significant global public health concern. Some of the safety-processes observed were: 1. Communication between doctors and nurses. 2. Hand washing and disinfection before and after contact with patients. 3. Infection control (catheters, nosocomial, etc). 4. DVT prophylaxis. 5. Management of patient´s records by doctors and nurses (completeness).
