All healthcare administrators understand the importance of patient safety and security. Without them, a healthcare facility's reputation can be severely damaged, and in the worst case, if security is compromised by unauthorized intruders, patients will be completely irrecoverable. However, visitor management has many patient safety benefits that help create a safer environment for both staff and patients. The potential to improve patient safety exists through the use of medication alerts, clinical alerts and reminders, improved tracking and reporting of consultations and diagnostic tests, support for clinical decision-making, and the availability of complete patient data. Data collected using health IT can be used to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions and has been shown to improve medical practice. Alerts can improve compliance and evidence-based care. Record consistency can be designed to reduce variability in practice, conduct systematic quality assurance audits, and streamline evidence-based care for common conditions. Robust interoperability makes it possible to share patient information and take advantage of a holistic view of patient care, but such goals are difficult to achieve. Sharing data between all institutions and all providers reduces errors and improves patient safety. However, the market continues to sell products that use proprietary codes and cannot be easily integrated with other systems for data exchange. There are many obstacles to addressing patient safety concerns in healthcare IT systems. There is no obligation to report medical errors related to healthcare IT systems. Due to the nature of competing healthcare IT providers, healthcare service providers are reluctant to share bugs directly related to their IT systems for fear of violating provider confidentiality clauses or user-signed intellectual property rights. It can be scary. Health IT has become an integral part of medical practice. Like any new technology, healthcare IT brings many potential benefits, but also potential concerns. Previous literature reflects results at individual locations or institutions. National estimates are extrapolations from these individual site studies. As the implementation and use of healthcare IT systems increase, prioritizing patient safety and quality becomes critical. First and foremost, patient safety begins at the top level of the organization. This means that hospital administrators do not dictate rules for staff to follow, but rather promote a culture of patient safety. It's important to understand the difference. Rules are generally imposed on us, and we usually follow them grudgingly and use every opportunity to break them. Culture is based on the beliefs that form the basis of our self-image and guide our actions and actions. Building or changing a culture is no easy task, but the right place to start operating a hospital is one that truly embraces patient safety and actively reinforces the behaviors that promote it. Just like any performance improvement, you need to set goals. If you're struggling to decide where to focus, I recommend reading the Joint Commission's 2018 National Patient Safety Goals. A major concern for patient safety advocates is that if a patient is given the wrong drug or dosage, the consequences can be disastrous! Caregivers and therapists can easily see when and how much medication a patient needs, improving patient safety. As previously mentioned, infection control is one of the patient safety concerns. Strict hygiene guidelines are no longer enough. Hospitals must rigorously screen patients after each admission to determine if they are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19. However, the right approach not only prevents the spread of the notorious virus, but also other lesser-known infections within healthcare facilities. Otherwise, the spread of infection could make other patients sick in the process.
