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
