This is very recent news happened in one of the state Hospitals. A new born child died in incubator because of excessive high temperature. It's not a rare incident. We have thousands of such examples happening every day throughout India. We are not going to the root cause analysis of these kinds of adverse events. But it's everybody's responsibility in the healthcare & pharma sectors to be careful handling the patient.
Patient safety is elemental to the Hippocratic Oath and fundamental to quality in healthcare. There are several patient safety imperatives such as medical/surgical error reporting, surgical/anaesthesia safety, medication management, health associated infections, prevention of 'Never Events', fire safety, implementation strategies for patient safety programmes in hospitals, as well as Do's and Don't for patient safety during various clinical/diagnostic procedures. Safer procedures and processes need to be adopted to make healthcare delivery safer for both the patient as well as the provider and to foster a culture of patient safety in the healthcare environment. And who are instrumental to carry on the activities? Everybody from elementary staffs to the doctors and administrators should be careful in the entire process of treatment while doing operations, prescribing medicine, giving injections to patients. Recently some incidents happened, that staff of operation theatre is miss their instruments in patient bodies.
For Head of departments or HR people of Hospitals/ Medical centers, they need to be selective while hiring on the basis of education/ quality/ experience for better patient service.
