Healthcare can cause avoidable serious harm to patients. Primary care is not an exception, and the relative lack of research in this area lends urgency to a better understanding of patient safety, the future research agenda and the development of primary care oriented safety programmes.
To outline a research agenda for patient safety improvement in primary care in Europe and beyond.
The LINNEAUS collaboration partners analysed existing research on epidemiology and classification of errors, diagnostic and medication errors, safety culture, and learning for and improving patient safety. We discussed ideas for future research in several meetings, workshops and congresses with LINNEAUS collaboration partners, practising GPs, researchers in this field, and policy makers.
This paper summarizes and integrates the outcomes of the LINNEAUS collaboration on patient safety in primary care. It proposes a research agenda on improvement strategies for patient safety in primary care. In addition, it provides background information to help to connect research in this field with practicing GPs and other healthcare workers in primary care.
Future research studies should target specific primary care domains, using prospective methods and innovative methods such as patient involvement.
医疗保健可能会给患者造成可避免的严重伤害。初级保健也不例外，而该领域相对缺乏研究使得更深入了解患者安全、未来研究议程以及制定以初级保健为导向的安全计划变得刻不容缓。
概述欧洲及其他地区改善初级保健中患者安全的研究议程。
LINNEAUS合作项目的合作伙伴分析了关于错误的流行病学和分类、诊断及用药错误、安全文化以及为提高患者安全而进行的学习等方面的现有研究。我们在多次会议、研讨会和大会上与LINNEAUS合作项目的合作伙伴、执业全科医生、该领域的研究人员以及政策制定者讨论了未来研究的思路。
本文总结并整合了LINNEAUS合作项目在初级保健患者安全方面的成果。它提出了一个关于改善初级保健患者安全策略的研究议程。此外，它还提供了背景信息，以帮助将该领域的研究与初级保健中的执业全科医生及其他医护人员联系起来。
未来的研究应针对特定的初级保健领域，采用前瞻性方法以及诸如患者参与等创新方法。
