Journal Title: The Journal of Middle East and North Africa Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Patient safety has become a central focus for the most medical institutions which generate new programs to monitor safety and prevent medical mistakes. The use of new technologies, the employment of automated systems, the introduction of system redundancies, the use of event simulation, and staff training are all strategies that have been put in place in an attempt to reduce the rate of errors. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of implementing electronic safety program using the Health Services Executive (HSE) change module on patient safety in intensive care unit at Istishari Hospital. Materials and Methods: Health Services Executive (HSE) change module was used as a guidance to change the workflow process in the safety management at Istishari Intensive Care Unit (ICU) department. Results: The results of this study showed that implementing electronic safety program within Health Services Executive (HSE) change module would protect patient safety, and help health care providers to be aware of patient’s condition and quality of care. Conclusions: It is very important to adopt electronic safety program in the health care centers and hospitals that contribute to improvement in the quality of services that are provided for patients.
