Abstract:
We practice patient safety as a model that links patient safety and quality improvement in healthcare. The most important activity is the incident report. The loop on the left is during usual situation activity related to quality improvement in healthcare. The loop on the right is during critical situations activity related to patient safety. What is important in these activities is the initial response to the critical situation, which is the first corner of the right loop. We practice emphasizing the initial response to the critical situation, creating the pattern, and taking measures without omissions. Although many patient safety measures have been taken, it has become clear that there is a shortage of doctors who can practice them. We have practiced that pattern and supported advanced healthcare. We want you to explain the pattern and use it in practice.
