System Barriers To Achieve Safe Health Care Presented by Mr. Amrth Ganapathy A.P MBA (HHC), Symbiosis Institute of Health Science, Pune.
SAFE HEALTH CARE IMPROVING PATIENT CARE PATIENT SAFETY AND; • THE RELIABILITY OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS WHY ?
Acceptance of Limitations on Maximum Performance • Regulations that limit the levelof risk allowed. • level dictated in situations in whichhigh levels of production and performance. • "attain a specified high level of production, no matter whatit takes"—the system is very unsafe.
Abandonment of Professional Autonomy • Restriction of the autonomy of healthcare professionals. • Educating health care professionals reduces the autonomyof health care professionals. • Systemic thinkingand anticipation of the consequences of processes across departmentsremains as major challenges.
Craftsman To An Equivalent Actor • To achieve the next increase in safety levels, health care professionalsmust face a very difficult transition: • abandoning their statusand self-image as craftsmen and instead adopting a positionthat values equivalence among their ranks.
System-Level Arbitration to Optimize Safety Strategies • The increase in pressure from medical malpractice liabilityand media scrutiny has created a need for system-level arbitration. • The safera system is, the more likely it is that society will seek tohold people accountable or seek legal recourse when injuriesoccur.
Need To Simplify Professional Rulesand Regulations • Accumulation of layersintended to improve safety but, make system • overlycomplex, • burdensome, and • overprotected. • When risks to patients become less observable, the best move is to • simplify the system, • eliminate nonproductive regulations, and • give clinicians more latitude in decision making.
Finally, • Health care must overcome 3 unique problems: • A wide range ofrisk among medical specialties, • Difficulty in defining medicalerror, and • Various structural constraints.
Conclusion • The industry, yet to traverse fully the barriers tosafety. • Quality improvement programs, cannot overcome these barriers. • Mastering the barriers will be a challenge and will requireaccepting limitations. • Reduction of errorsmay also constrain the professional latitude that health careproviders have.
