Six nurse executives across the United States discussed issues related to perinatal patient safety. Gaps in communication were identified as one of the biggest challenges facing nurse executives. Other issues included expectations of regulators and accreditors, the pressure for productivity with limited resources and staffing, and undercapitalized technology versus safety and staff competence. Each nurse executive discussed a perinatal patient safety initiative implemented recently in her organization. If costs were not an issue, construction of facilities, adoption of electronic documentation, and adding positions to help assure patient safety were at the top of their wish lists. Patient safety continues as the number one priority for nurse executives.
来自美国各地的六位护士主管讨论了与围产期患者安全相关的问题。沟通差距被认为是护士主管面临的最大挑战之一。其他问题包括监管机构和认证机构的期望、资源和人员配备有限情况下的生产力压力,以及技术资金不足与安全和员工能力之间的矛盾。每位护士主管都讨论了其所在机构最近实施的一项围产期患者安全倡议。如果成本不是问题,设施建设、采用电子文档以及增加职位以确保患者安全是他们愿望清单上的首要事项。患者安全仍然是护士主管的首要任务。
