The samples were some of nursing students of STIKes Muhammadiyah Samarinda who were on internship programme that selected using simple random sampling technique, in total of 54 students. This research’s variables were the knowledge management SECI based-patient safety and nursing student’s competency. The data were collected by using questionnaires and observation. The data were analyze by using Partial Least Square (PLS). Result: The result showed that there were significant influence the implementation of a model patient safety based knowledge management seci on increased competence nursing students. Discussion: Improved student competency in patient safety using SECI knowledge management was carried out in four phases, that is Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization.

The chapter presents decision support systems in medicine, their basic principles, and structure. From the point of view of patient safety, the decision support systems can bring new unexpected sources of errors, which must be anticipated at the design, implementation, and validation stages. Nevertheless, a safe and easy-to-use system can greatly improve the quality of determining the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy in healthcare. The authors of this chapter concentrate on the contribution of decision support systems to patient safety and on their potential to future contributions. A decision support system requires a user-friendly interface with the electronic health record and information system within the healthcare facility. The authors also present two examples of decision support systems from the genetics research.

Abstract Harm is more likely to result from errors in intravenous (IV) administration than through any other routes of administration. Infusion therapies are delivered in a variety of settings every day, including hospitals, home care settings, long-term care facilities, occupational health facilities, outpatient clinics, and physician offices. Understanding the basic principles of patient safety and developing strategies to reduce risk and severity are critical to improving the safety of IV medication administration. Consistent implementation of accepted strategies to prevent error is long overdue in the practice of IV medication administration. This article challenges the reader to develop a better understanding of patient-safety science, thoroughly investigate the causes of IV medication administration errors, and develop processes to mitigate the recurrence of similar errors.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
