Quality Management and Patient Safety in Healthcare Domain

  • 171 Accesses

Abstract

Healthcare is an extremely perplexing area where quality can be a common paradigm that addresses the needs of everyone in healthcare. The process of addressing quality in healthcare has turned into a global initiative. These days, the execution of a successful quality administration system and external assessment in medical services is a need to guarantee straightforwardness in activities identified with well-being as well as access to health and patient safety. Patient safety has been perceived as an issue of worldwide significance for more than 10 years. Dangerous primary and ambulatory care brings about more noteworthy morbidity, higher medical care use, and monetary expenses. As per information from the World Health Organization (WHO), the danger of a patient dying from a preventable clinical mishap while getting medical services is 1 out of 300, which is a lot higher than the risk of dying while traveling in a plane. Unsafe medication practices and erroneous and deferred diagnoses are the most well-known reasons for patient harm, which influences millions of patients around the world. The execution of a quality management framework will empower preventable adverse impacts to be limited or eliminated, and advance patient security and safe practice by healthcare professionals.
