Objetivo: identificar como o enfermeiro percebe a segurança do paciente na instituição de saúde em que atua. Metodologia: estudo descritivo, de corte transversal, realizado entre janeiro e fevereiro de 2016, em Dourados/MS, com 52,58% da população de 310 enfermeiros hospitalares. Aplicou-se questionário sociodemográfico com questões vinculadas à segurança do paciente, cujos dados foram submetidos à análise descritiva. Resultados: parte dos enfermeiros apontou menor segurança quanto aos procedimentos, cuidados e administração de medicamentos. Conclusão: compete à equipe multiprofissional atuar na promoção da segurança do paciente, sendo o enfermeiro o profissional apto a identificar e comunicar riscos iminentes, prevenindo a ocorrência de danos e promovendo saúde na sua integralidade, devido à assistência de enfermagem ocorrer ao longo das 24 horas do dia.Descritores: Segurança do paciente, Gerenciamento de risco, Papel do enfermeiro, Raciocínio clínico.PATIENT SAFETY IN THE PERPECTIVE OF NURSES: A MULTI PROFESSIONAL ISSUEObjective: to highlight how the institutional safety is in the perspective of nurses. Methodology: a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted between January and February 2016, in Dourados City, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, with 52.58% of 310 hospital nurses. A sociodemographic questionnaire with questions about “patient safety” was used. A descriptive and statistical analysis was performed. Results: some of the nurses indicated less safety regarding procedures, care and administration of medication. Conclusion: It is the role of multi professional team to promote patient safety. Nurses are capable of identifying and communicating imminent risks, due to their 24 hours assistance, preventing injuries and promoting health in its entirety.Descriptors: Patient Safety, Risks Management, Nurse’s Role, Clinical reasoning.SEGURIDAD DE LOS PACIENTES EN LA PERCEPCIÓN DE ENFERMEROS: UNA CUESTIÓN MULTIPROFESIONALObjetivo: identificar cómo la enfermera percibe la seguridad del paciente en la institución de salud en que actúa.

Abstract Objective Hiring medical scribes to document in the electronic health record (EHR) on behalf of providers could pose patient safety risks because scribes often have no clinical training. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of scribes on patient safety. This included identification of best practices to assure that scribe use of the EHR is not a patient safety risk. Materials and Methods Using a sociotechnical framework and the Rapid Assessment Process, we conducted ethnographic data gathering at 5 purposively selected sites. Data were analyzed using a grounded inductive/hermeneutic approach. Results We conducted site visits at 12 clinics and emergency departments within 5 organizations in the US between 2017 and 2019. We did 76 interviews with 81 people and spent 80 person-hours observing scribes working with providers. Interviewees believe and observations indicate that scribes decrease patient safety risks. Analysis of the data yielded 12 themes within a 4-dimension sociotechnical framework. Results about the “technical” dimension indicated that the EHR is not considered overly problematic by either scribes or providers. The “environmental” dimension included the changing scribe industry and need for standards. Within the “personal” dimension, themes included the need for provider diligence and training when using scribes. Finally, the “organizational” dimension highlighted the positive effect scribes have on documentation efficiency, quality, and safety. Conclusion Participants perceived risks related to the EHR can be less with scribes. If healthcare organizations and scribe companies follow best practices and if providers as well as scribes receive training, safety can actually improve.

PurposeRisk identification plays a key role identifying patient safety risks. As previous research on risk identification practices, as applied to patient safety, and its association with safety culture is limited, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate current practice to address gaps and potential room for improvement.Design/methodology/approachThe authors carry out interview-based questionnaires in one UK hospital to investigate real-world risk identification practices with eight healthcare staff, including managers, nurses and a medical consultant. Considering various aspects from both risk identification and safety culture practices, the authors investigate how these two are interrelated.FindingsThe interview-based questionnaires were helpful for evaluating current risk identification practices. While gaining significant insights into risk identification practices, such as experiences using current tools and methods, mainly retrospective ones, results also explicitly showed its link with the safety culture and highlighted the limitation in measuring the relationship.Originality/valueThe interviews addressed valuable challenges affecting success in the risk identification process, including limitations in safety culture practice, training, balancing financial and safety concerns, and integrating risk information from different tools and methods.

The aim of this study was to analyse electronic health record–related patient safety incidents in the patient safety incident reporting database in fully digital hospitals in Finland. We compare Finnish data to similar international data and discuss their content with regard to the literature. We analysed the types of electronic health record–related patient safety incidents that occurred at 23 hospitals during a 2-year period. A procedure of taxonomy mapping served to allow comparisons. This study represents a rare examination of patient safety risks in a fully digital environment. The proportion of electronic health record–related incidents was markedly higher in our study than in previous studies with similar data. Human–computer interaction problems were the most frequently reported. The results show the possibility of error arising from the complex interaction between clinicians and computers.
