Study Notes

Reviewing Adverse Events

The primary focus of reviewing adverse events is to identify opportunities to improve patient care and prevent similar events from occurring in the future.

Good Governance in Healthcare

A key aspect of good governance in healthcare organizations is ensuring that there are transparent and accountable processes in place for managing incidents and near misses.

Open Disclosure

Open disclosure formally begins when an incident is detected, and the healthcare provider is aware that a patient has been harmed or could have been harmed.
The purpose of open disclosure is to provide patients with an explanation of what happened, an apology, and information about the steps being taken to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Open disclosure includes an explanation of the incident, the consequences of the incident, and the actions being taken to prevent similar incidents.
One of the guiding principles of open disclosure is transparency.
Honesty is not a guiding principle of open disclosure.
The severity of harm should be assessed to determine the appropriate response to an incident.

Incident Response

After detecting an incident, the healthcare provider should initiate a response, which includes notifying the patient and their family, and providing support and care.
After initiating a response, the healthcare provider should provide an explanation of the incident, an apology, and information about the steps being taken to prevent similar incidents.

Healthcare Governance

Senior management plays a crucial role in good governance by ensuring that there are transparent and accountable processes in place for managing incidents and near misses.

Healthcare Organizations

Policies and procedures regarding confidentiality should be developed with consideration for the needs of patients, staff, and the organization.

Confidentiality

Breaches of confidentiality can impact the trust between a patient and healthcare provider.
Healthcare providers should follow guidelines on confidentiality to maintain the trust of patients.
Confidentiality should be maintained in all settings, including public areas like crowded elevators.
If a breach of confidentiality occurs, it should be reported and addressed promptly.

Healthcare Records

The purpose of using an appropriate identification system in a computerized healthcare record system is to ensure that patient information is accurately linked to the correct patient.
Entries in healthcare records should be legible, written in English, and include the time of entry.
Approved abbreviations and symbols should be used consistently throughout healthcare records.
Entries by different professional groups should be integrated in healthcare records to provide a comprehensive picture of patient care.
