CREATING A PATIENT SAFETY TEAM: In May 2001 Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston) created the Patient Safety Team, which was incorporated into the pre-existing safety and quality infrastructure. ESTABLISHING THE PATIENT SAFETY TEAM'S GOALS AND INITIATIVES: The goal was to create the safest possible environment for patients and staff by creating a culture of safety, increasing the capacity to measure and evaluate processes, committing to change unsafe processes, and adopting new technologies. To achieve this mission, the following initiatives were established: create a culture of safety, increase event identification, improve event analysis, close the feedback loop, assess risk proactively, improve medication safety, and involve the patient.
Integrating the Patient Safety Team into pre-existing committees and departments facilitated its work while helping to reinforce the multidisciplinary nature of safety efforts. It is critical that pre-existing groups feel that patient safety represents value added and is not a threat to their current roles.
If a patient safety strategy and team are to be effective, commitment from the organization's leaders is essential. This team should also work with individual departments and pre-existing quality structures to drive changes to the systems of care to enable health care to become as safe as possible.
创建患者安全团队：2001年5月，布莱根妇女医院（波士顿）创建了患者安全团队，该团队被纳入现有的安全与质量基础设施之中。
目标是通过营造安全文化、提高衡量和评估流程的能力、致力于改变不安全流程以及采用新技术，为患者和员工创造尽可能安全的环境。为实现这一使命，确立了以下举措：营造安全文化、增加事件识别、改进事件分析、闭合反馈回路、主动评估风险、提高用药安全以及让患者参与进来。
将患者安全团队融入现有的委员会和部门，既促进了其工作，又有助于强化安全工作的多学科性质。至关重要的是，现有团体要觉得患者安全是有附加值的，而不是对其当前角色的威胁。
如果患者安全战略和团队要发挥效力，组织领导者的承诺必不可少。该团队还应与各个部门及现有的质量结构合作，推动护理系统的变革，以使医疗保健尽可能安全。
