In-Facility Delirium Prevention Programs as a Patient Safety Strategy

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the patient safety strategy implantation process through the perspective of nurse managers. Method: a qualitative descriptive-exploratory approach, performed with 72 nurse managers from four public university hospitals in Paraná. The data were collected through a recorded interview, guided by the question: “Tell me about your experience regarding the process of implantation of patient safety strategies?” and was submitted for content, thematic and modality analysis. Results: categories resulting from the analysis: Understanding the trajectory of patient safety strategy implantation; Multiple phases of patient safety strategy implantation; and Ambiguous feelings related to patient safety strategy implantation. Conclusion: in the investigated institutions, despite the process of patient safety strategy implantation being perceived in a contradictory way by the participants, they expressed feelings of satisfaction.

Purpose Patient safety programmes aim to make healthcare safe for both patients and health professionals. The purpose of this paper is to explore the UK’s patient safety improvement programmes over the past 15 years and explore what lessons can be learnt to improve Libyan healthcare patient safety. Design/methodology/approach Publications focusing on UK patient safety were searched in academic databases and content analysed. Findings Several initiatives have been undertaken over the past 15 years to improve British healthcare patient safety. Many stakeholders are involved, including regulatory and professional bodies, educational providers and non-governmental organisations. Lessons can be learnt from the British journey. Practical implications Developing a national patient safety strategy for Libya, which reflects context and needs is paramount. Above all, Libyan patient safety programmes should reference internationally approved guidelines, evidence, policy and learning from Britain’s unique experience. Originality/value This review examines patient safety improvement strategies adopted in Britain to help developing country managers to progress local strategies based on lessons learnt from Britain’s unique experience.
