Zusammenfassung

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt die Patientensicherheitsarbeit in Schweden sowie die Zusammenarbeit der nordischen Länder zu diesem Thema. Dargestellt werden die diesbezügliche nationale Infrastruktur, Methoden sowie Partner in der Patientensicherheitsarbeit und die Entwicklung in Schlüsselbereichen. Seit 2000 ist in Schweden das Interesse für Patientensicherheits- und Qualitätsfragen deutlich gestiegen. Eine nationale Studie (2009) zeigte, dass in einem einjährigen Beobachtungszeitraum (Oktober 2003 bis September 2004) mehr als 100.000 der Patienten (8,6 %), die stationär versorgt worden waren, einen vermeidbaren Schaden erlitten hatten. Seit 2007 arbeiten alle schwedischen Landkreise/Regionen am Projekt „Nationaler Einsatz für erhöhte Patientensicherheit”, um die im Gesundheitswesen verursachten Schäden systematisch zu minimieren. Eine nationale Strategie für die Patientensicherheit ist außerdem in der Entwicklung. Sie basiert auf einer neuen Gesetzgebung zur Regelung der Verantwortung für die Patientensicherheit (2011) und auf einer „Null-Vision“ in Bezug auf die Zahl an vermeidbaren Gesundheitsschäden. Die nordische Zusammenarbeit auf diesem Gebiet konzentriert sich bislang auf die Entwicklung von Indikatoren und Qualitätsmessungen mit Blick auf nosokomiale Infektionen, Gesundheitsschäden in der stationären somatischen Versorgung, auf die Patientensicherheitskultur, Krankenhaussterblichkeit und Polypharmazie bei älteren Menschen. Die nordische Zusammenarbeit wird durch die Entwicklung und den Austausch sowie die Dokumentation von Erfahrungen und Evidenz zu Patientensicherheitsindikatoren vorangetrieben. Die hier vorgestellten Aktivitäten zur Patientensicherheit stellen nur einen Teil der schwedischen und nordischen Arbeit zur Patientensicherheit dar und sollen aufzeigen, wie diese Arbeit durchgeführt werden kann.

Abstract

This article describes the patient safety work in Sweden and the cooperation between the Nordic countries in the area of patient safety. It depicts the national infrastructure, methods and partners in patient safety work as well as the development in key areas. Since 2000, the interest in patient safety and quality issues has significantly increased. A national study (2009) showed that more than 100,000 patients (8.6 %) experienced preventable harm in hospitals. Since 2007, all Swedish counties and regions work on the “National commitment for increased patient safety” to systematically minimize adverse events in the healthcare system. Also, a national strategy for patient safety has been proposed based on a new law regulating the responsibility for patient safety (2011) and a zero vision in terms of preventable harm and adverse events. The Nordic collaboration in this field currently focuses on the development of indicators and quality measurement with respect to nosocomial infections, harm in inpatient somatic care, patient safety culture, hospital mortality and polypharmacy in the elderly. The Nordic collaboration is driven by the development, exchange and documentation of experiences and evidence on patient safety indicators. The work presented in this article is only a part of the Swedish and the Nordic efforts related to patient safety and provides an interesting insight into how this work can be carried out.
