Patient safety is a worldwide priority aimed at preventing medical errors before they cause death, harm, or injury. Medical errors impact 1 in 10 patients worldwide (WHO), and their implications may include death, permanent, or temporary harm, financial loss, and psychosocial harm to the patient and in some cases to the caregiver. The unique aspects and the complexity of the neonatal intensive (NICU) environment, in addition to the vulnerability of the neonatal population increase the risk for medical errors. The following article offers an overview of safety issues specific to neonatal intensive care and provides strategies and examples on how to ensure safe practice. In particular, the authors focus on strategies to improve the team process. Practice recommendations and research implications are presented.
患者安全是一项全球优先事项，旨在预防医疗差错导致死亡、伤害或损伤。全球每10名患者中就有1人受到医疗差错影响（世界卫生组织），其影响可能包括死亡、永久性或暂时性伤害、经济损失以及对患者甚至在某些情况下对护理人员造成的心理社会伤害。新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）环境的独特性和复杂性，再加上新生儿群体的脆弱性，增加了医疗差错的风险。以下文章概述了新生儿重症监护特有的安全问题，并提供了确保安全实践的策略和示例。特别是，作者重点关注改善团队协作流程的策略。文中还给出了实践建议和研究启示。
