Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Occupational Health
Patient Safety

Background:

Recognizes the link between healthcare worker (HCW) safety and patient safety.
Highlights a gap in research evaluating practices benefiting both HCWs and patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify practices that improve safety for both HCWs and patients.
To determine the extent of existing literature on this topic.
To identify remaining research questions.

Main Methods:

Conducted a scoping meta-review of systematic reviews (SRs) from 2011-2020.
Included SRs measuring HCW safety/well-being or organizational safety culture and patient safety outcomes.
Classified studies and extracted data on interventions, settings, and outcomes.

Main Results:

114 SRs met inclusion criteria, covering worker safety, operational practices, safety culture, and patient safety.
48 SRs identified practices benefiting both HCWs and patients.
Practices related to work organization (staffing, policies, human factors) and teamwork were most promising.

Conclusions:

Numerous practices can improve safety for both HCWs and patients, advocating for an integrated approach.
Collaboration between occupational health/safety and patient safety leaders is recommended to implement effective practices.
