الخطة الوطنية للعمل من أجل تعزيز سلامة المرضى

نهج الأنظمة الشاملة للسلامة

على الرغم من الجهود الكبيرة المبذولة على مدى السنوات العشرين الماضية، فإن الضرر الذي يمكن الوقاية منه في مجال الرعاية الصحية يظل مصدر قلق كبير في الولايات المتحدة. وعلى الرغم من تحديد العديد من أفضل الممارسات القائمة على الأدلة والفعالة فيما يتعلق بالحد من الضرر، إلا أنها نادراً ما يتم تبادلها على المستوى الوطني وتنفيذها بشكل فعال عبر منظمات متعددة.

إن الحد من الأضرار التي يمكن الوقاية منها يتطلب بذل جهود متضافرة ومتواصلة ومنسقة من جانب جميع أصحاب المصلحة، واتباع نهج شامل للسلامة. وتتطلب السلامة الشاملة للأنظمة التنسيق على العديد من المستويات، الأمر الذي يستلزم بدوره التعاون القوي بين جميع أصحاب المصلحة.

ومن خلال الاستفادة من المعرفة والرؤى التي تمتلكها الوكالات الفيدرالية المؤثرة، ومنظمات الرعاية الصحية الرائدة، ومناصري المرضى والعائلات، وخبراء الصناعة المحترمين في مجموعة من التوصيات العملية والفعالة، توفر خطة العمل الوطنية اتجاهاً واضحاً لتحقيق تقدم كبير نحو رعاية أكثر أماناً وتقليل الضرر عبر سلسلة الرعاية .

ومن خلال التخطيط والاستثمار معًا، وتعبئة الموارد معًا، والتعلم معًا، ومشاركة الدروس المستفادة، يمكننا إحداث تغيير ذي معنى وتعزيز هدف خلق الرعاية الصحية الأكثر أمانًا للمرضى وأولئك الذين يعتنون بهم.

يستغل التقرير المعرفة والرؤى التي اكتسبها أعضاء National Steering Committee for Patient Safety ، بما في ذلك الوكالات الفيدرالية المؤثرة، ومنظمات الرعاية الصحية الرائدة، ومستشاري المرضى والعائلات، وخبراء الصناعة المحترمين، في مجموعة من التوصيات العملية والفعالة لتعزيز سلامة المرضى.

تركز خطة العمل الوطنية على أربعة مجالات أساسية ومترابطة، تم تحديدها على أنها ضرورية لخلق سلامة الأنظمة الشاملة. وتستند التوصيات في هذه المجالات الأربعة إلى مجموعة كبيرة من الخبرات والأدلة والدروس المستفادة التي جمعها مجلس الأمن القومي وسيقوم باختبارها وتنفيذها معًا للسماح بالتحسينات المستقبلية مع تطور فهمنا وخبرتنا وأدلتنا بمرور الوقت.

Safety leader Helen Macfie describes how organizations can use the National Action Plan to guide their workforce and patient safety efforts.

IHI Safer Together Recognition Program

Celebrate Your Team's Dedication to Patient and Workforce Safety

Your moment to shine as a beacon of inspiration in health care improvement is here! The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) invites all hospitals committed to advancing quality and safety to participate in the IHI Safer Together Recognition Program. 

The IHI Safer Together Recognition Program acknowledges the achievements of hospitals that have made significant strides to improve patient and workforce safety by implementing proactive changes in systems and processes.

The Recognition program is grounded in IHI’s proven methodologies for quality and safety improvement and based on the principles outlined in the publication Safer Together: A National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety, which focuses on four foundational areas:

  • Culture, Leadership, and Governance
  • Patient and Family Caregiver Engagement
  • Workforce Safety and Well-Being
  • Learning System

Why This Recognition Matters

The IHI Safer Together Recognition Program is built around a widely recognized framework for advancing safety. It offers tremendous value and opportunities to health care leadership, quality and safety improvement professionals, and individual hospitals.

Achieving this acknowledgment from IHI, a global leader in health care improvement, enhances a hospital’s reputation among peers, regulators, health care consumers, and the public. Recognition may also contribute to additional funding opportunities, higher workforce satisfaction, and better team performance.

Recognition provides a signal for patients/consumers and workers that their hospitals have attested to leadership commitment to safety and have structures and practices in place that are associated with high-performing organizations.

Recognition Program Details

To be considered for Recognition, a hospital must undergo rigorous and comprehensive self-assessment, ensuring that they have critically evaluated their safety practices.

Honoring evidence-based practices and driving real-world impact in safety management systems and safety culture, the IHI Safer Together Recognition Program awards hospitals for their continuous work to ensure that health care is safe and reliable as identified through a combination of quantitative and qualitative assessments.

  • Online Team Self-Assessment Tool: Meet or exceed a specific threshold on the online Team Self-Assessment Tool for Safer Together: A National Action Plan to Advance Safety.
  • IHI Safety Expert Panel Verification: Hospitals will receive verification by the IHI Safety Expert Panel, comprising nationally recognized patient and workforce safety experts.

Certified Professional in Human Factors in Health Care

The Certified Professional in Human Factors in Health Care (CPHFH) establishes core standards for the field of human factors in health care, benchmarks competencies necessary for health care professionals, and sets an expected proficiency level. Connect with IHI and obtain the expertise to improve workforce and patient safety through the implementation of human factors initiatives.
Prepare for the CPHFH Examination

Human factors is a discipline that seeks to optimize the relationship between technology, the environment, systems, and humans. In health care, it is an essential component for mitigating risks to both patients and the workforce.

The Certified Professional in Human Factors in Health Care (CPHFH) credential is earned by demonstrating a high level of proficiency in applying the core standards of human factors, systems thinking, and design to health care improvement.

Certification is awarded upon passing a comprehensive examination covering three key domains: Assess and Analyze, which involves evaluating and understanding human-system interactions to identify potential risks; Design, which focuses on designing and implementing systems and processes that enhance safety and efficiency; and Improve and Monitor, which entails continuously refining and overseeing systems to ensure ongoing safety and sustainable effectiveness.   

Health care professionals who are educated in human factors are empowered with valuable insights into the relationship between humans, patients, and the systems with which they interact.

Benefits of CPHFH Certification

  • Health Care Leadership Confidence: Leadership is assured teams are capably skilled to effectively manage complex health care environments through a deep understanding of human-system interactions.
  • Skills to Improve Team Performance: Certification affirms competence in applying human factors principles to streamline and optimize team interactions and workflows for more efficient and effective health care delivery.
  • Enhanced Patient Safety: Health care professionals with human factors credentials use their knowledge to enhance patient outcomes, minimize errors, design safer systems, and reduce adverse events.
  • Professional Recognition: This certification, fully accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and the Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety (CBPPS), validates specialized knowledge in human factors, distinguishing professionals as highly valued experts in creating user-centered and safer health care systems.
  • Career Advancement: Human factors in health care certification opens doors to roles that require expertise in system improvement and human factors, positioning professionals for leadership and specialized positions within healthcare organizations. 

Why Certification Is Important

This professional certification program establishes core standards for the field of human factors in health care, benchmarks requirements necessary for health care professionals, and sets an expected proficiency level.

  • For professionals, the CPHFH credential provides those working in human factors a means to demonstrate their proficiency and skill in the discipline.
