This literature review summarises the history of patient safety initiatives in health-care systems around the world. The need to improve patient safety is commonly called for following interrogation of data captured as a measure of patient safety including audit, clinical indicator reporting and evaluation methods. Many such reports exist for maternity services. Recommendations for improvement identified after review may be taken up, but there is little in the literature that demonstrates how clinicians consider such recommendations, implement improvement strategies and assess their impact. The authors of this paper concur with other authors who call for more research in this regard.
这篇文献综述总结了全球医疗保健系统中患者安全举措的历史。在对包括审核、临床指标报告和评估方法在内的患者安全数据进行检查后,通常会提出提高患者安全的需求。许多此类报告都存在于产科服务中。审查后确定的改进建议可能会被采纳,但文献中几乎没有表明临床医生如何考虑这些建议、实施改进策略以及评估其影响。本文作者同意其他作者的观点,即呼吁在这方面进行更多的研究。
