TWELVE COMMANDAMENTS FOR PATIENT SAFETYPatient safety is the prevention of adverse events that patients may suffer as a result of
their contact with the health system
1 KNOW THAT IS PATIENT SAFETY The purpose of patient safety is to reduce the risk associated healthcarerisk associated healthcare
2 KNOW THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PATIENT SAFETY
Working in patient safety is to be aware of the risks involved, inform, analyze and establish improvement measuresimprovement measures to avoid, as much as possible, that patients are reexposed to them
3 CONSIDER WHY ADVERSE EVENTS OCCUR The Reason’s Swiss cheese model shows us how
advers events occur: they are caused by system falilures and human errorssystem falilures and human errors combination
4 UNDERSTAND THAT TO ERR IS INHERENT TO THE HUMAN CONDITION
5 CHANGE THE WAY WE WORK Although we can not change the human condition, we can change the we can change the
conditions conditions under wich humans work
6 LEARN FROM MISTAKES Every mistake is an opportunity to improve
12 CONSIDERER PATIENT SAFETY AS A CHALLENGE TO ACHIEVE IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM The same failures can be The same failures can be repeated with different repeated with different consequences increasinglyconsequences increasingly
11 LEAD AND SUPPORT OUR PROFFESIONALS To develop a Safety Plan is essential to have a Patient
Safety Leader locally and with the commitment of the Organization’s clinical manager, supporting proffesionals for incidents management and facilitating the implementation of the improvement measures
10 IMPROVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE VARIOUS PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED The risk of adverse events decreasses when patients are sufficiently informed about their condition and
the treatment required and when the communication between different health proffesionals involved in their care is proper.
9 SPREAD THE RECOMMENDATIONS SHARING SAFETY LESSONS In the health sector is not possible to achieve the zero risk, so the dissemination of lessons learned is key
to improving health care quality
8 INTEGRATE RISK MANAGEMENT INTO OUR DAILY WORK When we detect a fault, we should try to find out how it happened and
why. Normally the person who detected the error is who has the better information to propose improvement measures to prevent its recurrence.
7 DRIVE FORWARD THE NOTIFICATION Report faults is essential. The reporting of adverse events is a long chain of work including analyze, learn from them, establish corrective actions and, finally, disseminate recommendations for all professionals
