The Swiss Society of Internal Medicine

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Medicine
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Medical errors and complications pose risks to patient safety in hospitals.
  • A systematic approach is needed to identify and reduce these adverse events.
  • Existing tools may not capture rare but significant incidents.

Observation:

  • Systematic and prospective analysis of interventions and complications is conducted.
  • Data is collected from 26 participating medical departments.
  • This approach enables the capture of even rare incidents.

Findings:

  • Complications and errors are communicated across all Swiss internal medicine departments.
  • The analysis identifies patterns and specific types of medical errors.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Rare incidents are effectively documented and shared.

    • Implications:

    • Shared data facilitates a collective effort to reduce medical errors nationwide.
    • The principle of eliminating unsafe actions and conditions is promoted.
    • Preventing seemingly harmless errors aims to avoid potentially serious patient consequences.
