    7. 7 Health Care Errors cause Harm Patient harm – 10% admissions Ranges from Serious. ………..Minor Death and serious disability in 2%0 Costly : 5-10% of health expenditure (ReR, ALOS.) Good News! Potentially preventable in 50-80% of cases

    8. 8 Range of health care errors Sentinel Events: “An unexpected occurrence involving death, serious physical or psychological injury.” wrong patient or body part ; serious neurological injury ; retained instruments ; hypoxic brain damage ; maternal death Sentinel Events: “An unexpected occurrence involving death, serious physical or psychological injury.” wrong patient or body part ; serious neurological injury ; retained instruments ; hypoxic brain damage ; maternal death

    11. 11 16 thousand million injections misuse and overuse of injections worldwide Slide 6: This slide summarizes injection practices worldwide. The X axis represent the number of injections per person and per year. The total bar represents the total number of injections and the red bar represents those injections given with reused equipment. The graph shows clearly that injection practices vary across different world regions. While injection use is most frequent in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, unsafe injections are most common in the Middle East and South Asia.Slide 6: This slide summarizes injection practices worldwide.

    12. 12 Slide 8: The map shows the geographical distribution of the proportion of new HCV infections that may be attributed to unsafe injections worldwide. Clearly, in the Middle East and in Asia, the proportion of HCV that can be attributed to unsafe injections is high and requires public health attention.Slide 8: The map shows the geographical distribution of the proportion of new HCV infections that may be attributed to unsafe injections worldwide.

    13. 13 Patient Safety as a Public Health Risk A problem Everywhere

    14. 14 Organizational: skill mix, time, outdated training EBP standards ,protocols poor technical design of medical equipment and packaging. Weak safety culture: Denial & BLAME Ineffective Communication

    16. 16 What we in WHO/EMRO Did? A long way to go….. But started with : Integrating PS: Hospital Accreditation Guidelines 02 QUESTIONNAIRE: MOH & FACILITY STANDARDS: Joint WHO/AL Facility Accreditation 04 CONSENSUS FRAMEWORK: Regional Patient Safety GUIDELINES / SOPs of major health problems CAPACITY BUILDING: Training Packages (2005) Patient Safety Friendly Hospital Initiative ( PSFHI) PARTNERSHIP: World Alliance for Patient Safety Patient Safety Centre (2004) Joint WHO/AL Facility Accreditation 04 GCC: Glossary for PS Countries: Joint Programming 07-08 On going : safe injections, safe blood, safe motherhood, …… Is demonstrated thru the following efforts Is demonstrated thru the following efforts
