The technique of providing basic and quick life support (BHD) and transportation to patients with cardiac and pulmonary arrest can save a patient's life. An ambulance driver as one of the ambulance personnel should be equipped with the two forms of skills above. The aim of community service is to increase the capacity of ambulance drivers in terms of providing basic life support skills and patient transportation to improve patient safety. This training was held in September 2019, at the H. Adam Malik General Hospital Training Center Installation Medan, with 24 participants. The training is carried out with 2 methods, namely exposure to BHD theory and BHD skills training. The knowledge and skills of participants before and after the training were assessed. Pre and post assessment results were analyzed using paired t-test with a significance level of p <0.05 Ambulance drivers in the Medan Tuntung and Medan Sunggal area are mostly over 30 years old, with most working as ambulance drivers for more than 5 years. The most recent level of education is high school graduation or equivalent. The results of statistical analysis using paired t-test, obtained a significant difference in the knowledge of ambulance drivers about basic life support theory before and after training (p = 0.000). Likewise, ambulance driver skills in providing basic life support for adult patients, infants and children were significantly different before and after training (p = 0.000). Training in basic life support skills and patient transportation can increase the capacity of ambulance drivers in providing basic life support..

AimsIn this project our aim was to improve patient safety and care by reducing hypnotic prescription medication administration. We also wanted to reduce over-prescribing/unnecessary prescribing which has a negative pharmaceutical impact on the environment and is a huge expenditure issue for the NHS. NICE guidance for Insomnia management states “After consideration of the use of non-pharmacological measures, hypnotic drug therapy is considered appropriate for the management of severe insomnia interfering with normal daily life; it is recommended that hypnotics should be prescribed for short periods of time only, in strict accordance with their licensed indications” Side effects are common with hypnotic usage including, most importantly, the development of tolerance and rebound insomnia.MethodThe interventions we implemented included the development of an educational presentation about insomnia, the development of an “Insomnia Management Flow chart” to be used at admission point, training sessions for ward staff, shared teaching programmes with patients at their sleep management sessions, face to face and email correspondence to inform medical trainees about this project and gathering feedback from patients and staff before and after this project.ResultThe results of this project demonstrated a total reduction in hypnotic tablet administration was very significant with a 44.5% reduction post intervention.ConclusionThis demonstrates the positive change in our clinical practice that has resulted from our interventions. This will improve patient safety and reduce cost of hypnotic medications for the NHS. Following on from this initial intervention, we feel that we can continue to make further changes and expand the changes we made on this ward, to other similar wards in our hospital, trust and to other inpatient psychiatric wards further afield.

Abstract Background: Safety culture in hospitals can affect patient disease processes and health status. However, comprehensive measures to improve patient safety and effective methods to precisely assess the outcomes are limited in China. Methods: A cohort study was carried out in a tertiary hospital in China. Medical caregivers received comprehensive interventions such as a study on emergency plans and professional skills training to improve safety culture at the beginning of January 2017. A total of 553 caregivers in March, 299 caregivers in June and 284 caregivers in December in the same year participated in the three evaluation surveys. The safety attitude questionnaire (SAQ), the dimension frequency and number of events reported in the hospital survey of patient safety culture (HSOPSC) and a questionnaire on barriers to reporting adverse events were used to examine the safety culture changes before, during and at the end of intervention implementation. Results: The scores for dimension teamwork climate, job satisfaction and perception of management in the SAQ were significantly increased (p < 0.05). The scores for the 17 items in the barriers to reporting adverse events questionnaire were significantly increased (p < 0.05). No significant changes were observed in the scores for the dimension frequency and number of events reported in the HSOPSC after the interventions. Conclusion: Our findings showed that the interventions improved safety attitudes, and the barriers to reporting adverse events decreased, suggesting that the comprehensive interventions used were helpful for improving the safety culture.
