Pediatric chiropractors face barriers like time pressure and patient concerns when participating in patient safety reporting and learning systems. Addressing these issues is crucial for future safety studies in chiropractic care.
Area of Science:
- Chiropractic care
- Patient safety
- Healthcare systems
Background:
- Patient safety is paramount in healthcare.
- Reporting and learning systems are vital for monitoring incidents and improving safety.
- Understanding barriers to participation is key for effective implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify factors limiting pediatric chiropractors' participation in patient safety reporting and learning systems.
- To explore the perspectives of pediatric chiropractors on potential barriers.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey was distributed to pediatric chiropractors.
- Participants were members of US national chiropractic pediatric councils (N=400).
- Data collected via an online survey tool (REDCap).
Main Results:
- A response rate of 20.3% (81 out of 400) was achieved.
- The primary barriers identified were time pressure (96%) and patient concerns (81%).
Conclusions:
- Time constraints and patient-related issues significantly hinder pediatric chiropractors' engagement with safety reporting systems.
- Future patient safety initiatives must address these identified barriers to ensure successful participation and enhance patient care in pediatric chiropractic.
