Our objective was to describe a comprehensive obstetric patient safety program and its effect on reducing compensation payments and sentinel adverse events. From 2003 to 2009, we implemented a comprehensive obstetric patient safety program at our institution with multiple integrated components. To evaluate its effect on compensation payments and sentinel events, we gathered data on compensation payments and sentinel events retrospectively from 2003, when the program was initiated, through 2009. Average yearly compensation payments decreased from $27,591,610 between 2003-2006 to $2,550,136 between 2007-2009, sentinel events decreased from 5 in 2000 to none in 2008 and 2009. Instituting a comprehensive obstetric patient safety program decreased compensation payments and sentinel events resulting in immediate and significant savings.
我们的目标是描述一个全面的产科患者安全计划及其对降低赔偿支付和哨点不良事件的影响。从 2003 年到 2009 年，我们在机构内实施了一个全面的产科患者安全计划，该计划有多个综合组成部分。为了评估其对赔偿支付和哨点事件的影响，我们从计划开始的 2003 年到 2009 年回溯性地收集了赔偿支付和哨点事件的数据。平均每年的赔偿支付从 2003-2006 年的 27,591,610 美元降至 2007-2009 年的 2,550,136 美元，哨点事件从 2000 年的 5 起降至 2008 年和 2009 年的无。实施全面的产科患者安全计划降低了赔偿支付和哨点事件，从而实现了即时和显著的节省。
