Preventing Risks of Infections and Medication Errors in IV therapy (PRIME): a patient safety initiative.
British journal of nursing (Mark Allen Publishing)(2023)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Two major avoidable reasons for adverse events in hospital are medication errors and intravenous therapy-induced infections or complications. Training for clinical staff and compliance to patient safety principles could address these.
METHODS:Joint Commission International (JCI) consultants created a standardised, 6-month training programme for clinical staff in hospitals. Twenty-one tertiary care hospitals from across south-east Asia took part. JCI trained the clinical consultants, who trained hospital safety champions, who trained nursing staff. Compliance and knowledge were assessed, and monthly audits were conducted.
RESULTS:There was an overall increase of 29% in compliance with parameters around medication preparation and vascular access device management.
CONCLUSION:The programme improved safe practice around preparing medications management and managing vascular access devices. The approach could be employed as a continuous quality improvement initiative for the prevention of medication errors and infusion-associated complications.
