I'm thrilled to share that I've earned [ Total Quality Management Diploma Certificate] from [Zewail Center for training-EGYPT ] with accreditation of American Board of Healthcare Quality 🎓 Core topics covered in TQMD : □ Hospital management □ Health care Quality □Infection Control □Occupational safety and health

As organisations transition to the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (#NHSE #PSIRF) in response to the NHSE Standard Contract, I was reflecting how important it is to remember that no 'one size fits all'. Perhaps even more so as PSIRF projects its influence into #primarycare Over the last few weeks I have delivered a 2-day workshop to learning response leads at a large NHS Trust, a 1-day systems approach workshop to another Trust, a 2.5 hr on-line Introduction to PSIRF for Senior Leaders at a small independent hospital, a similar session for front line staff at another independent hospital and an oversight workshop for an independent provider that has 60+ hospitals across the UK. Looking back over the year, #pdSafetyConsulting has supported other providers delivering really niche services that warranted tailored solutions to PSIRF. My conclusion is that one size definitely does not fit all! The "so what?"... each training session is nuanced and requires a review of the local Patient Safety Incident Response Policy & Plan (#PSIRP) to ensure the workshop content is organisation-specific and informs local process. Just as the response to an incident should be proportionate under PSIRF, so should the policies and plans that support that response. That's why I was so pleased when NHSE listened and changed the training requirements for those in oversight roles earlier this year; until then, they had been disproportionate imho. It's so important to get the right message to the right people if you are to take everyone with you on the journey as you manage safety culture in the workplace. If you are wondering who-needs-what training in your organisation or need advice with your PSIRP, please do get in touch! I'm always happy to have a chat and I really do believe this is an opportunity to do safety investigation more compassionately! paul@pdsafetyconsulting.com

THE STRATEGIC ROLE OF PROMOTIONS IN SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR HEALTHCARE In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, effective communication and promotion of safety practices are essential for fostering a culture of safety. This article explores the purpose and significance of promotions within Safety Management Systems (SMS), focusing on raising awareness, educating stakeholders, and driving compliance with safety protocols. By enhancing awareness, encouraging adherence to safety measures, and fostering a proactive safety culture, promotions play a vital role in improving patient outcomes and regulatory compliance. The article outlines the steps involved in healthcare promotions and provides practical examples of promotional activities.

A leading children’s hospital partnered with EH&E to create a new framework for PCRA that achieved a threefold decrease in the number of high-risk issues found during construction site audits. How did we do it? EH&E and the hospital developed a framework that extends the #PCRA process from the design-concept all the way through post-construction closeout, allowing project managers to ensure risk-reduction practices are followed from the design-stage through occupancy. This blog post details the framework and the best practices to implement. #construction #hospitals

Creating a just culture is essential for enhancing patient safety within healthcare settings. A just culture promotes an environment where staff feel safe to report errors and near misses without fear of punitive action, fostering open communication and continuous improvement. Here are some key elements to consider when implementing a just culture: 1. **Encourage Reporting:** - Implement systems that allow staff to report errors or unsafe conditions anonymously. - Regularly remind staff that reporting is a critical part of improving patient safety. 2. **Focus on Learning, Not Punishment:** - Shift the focus from blame to understanding the root causes of errors. - Use incidents as learning opportunities to improve systems and processes. 3. **Promote Open Communication:** - Create forums for staff to discuss safety concerns and share experiences. - Encourage transparency across all levels of the organization. 4. **Training and Education:** - Provide training on patient safety, error reporting, and the principles of a just culture. - Educate staff about the importance of their role in contributing to a safe environment. 5. **Leadership Support:** - Leaders should model behaviors that reflect a commitment to a just culture, including openness and accountability. - Regularly communicate the importance of patient safety and a just culture in meetings and through organizational messaging. 6. **Systems Thinking:** - Encourage a view of incidents as opportunities to analyze workflows and processes that may need improvement. - Engage multidisciplinary teams to assess and reform systems related to patient care. 7. **Regular Feedback:** - Provide feedback to staff on the outcomes of reported incidents and the improvements made. - Celebrate successes in patient safety initiatives and recognize team efforts. By fostering a just culture, healthcare organizations can create an environment that prioritizes patient safety, encourages openness, and ultimately leads to better patient outcomes.

Excited to share that I have successfully completed IHI’s PS 105: Responding to Adverse Events. This course has deepened my understanding of patint safety principles and the importance of communication and learning in healthcare. #healthcare #CPHQ #Quality

As healthcare professionals, our primary goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients. One way to achieve this is by effectively implementing the International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG). 1. Leadership Commitment: Leaders must demonstrate their commitment to patient safety. This can be done by setting clear expectations, establishing safety protocols, and investing in safety training programs. 2. Policies and protocols: Components of IPSG goals must be integrated into the hospital policy with clear SOPs for implementation 3. Education and Training: Based on the SOPs, training materaials are prepared. Regular training sessions should be conducted to educate staff about the IPSG. This includes understanding the goals, the rationale behind them, and the steps needed to achieve them. 3. Multimodal Communication: Use posters reminders, checklists and just in time training to ensure important information is accurately shared among the team. 4. Patient Involvement: Encourage patients to take an active role in their care. Educate them about specifc aspects of IPSG that is relevant to them. 5. Continuous Improvement: Regularly monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of safety measures. Use this data to identify areas for improvement and adjust strategies as needed. #healthcare #healthcareprofessionals
