| Avoiding the Avoidable Mistake |
Hardly a day goes by when an article does not appear
somewhere in the trade
media and even the general news media that recounts some
error leading to a
tragic patient outcome - see the link to the Washington
Post story in the "News Headlines" section below. Those of us in Healthcare know how hard we work to make
sure errors don't
happen. But, they still do. I suppose, to be honest,
eliminating errors 100%
of the time is impossible. To error is human. But when it
comes to healthcare, a
small error can have big time consequence for a human life.
So we strive to
reach 100% and can never stop striving for delivering
perfection.

Tip of the Week
|
Tagging things can reduce errors. So often communication
is the key to
avoiding the avoidable error. Things like the "Time
Out" policy in the O.R. is
an example of this. Pause, reflect, communicate. One of
the most difficult
communication links is between the O.R. and C.S. Part of
the challenge is that
often these departments - so interdependent - are
physically separated walls
and floors. Labelling tools can help. Things like
instrument repair tags,
disposable labels, color-coded markers, etc. can all
facilitate communication
with devices that everone understands. Review your
practices and see if there
is an opportunity to improve communication with a simple
tool. Want to try one for free?Check out the coupon below for a free sample pack of instrument repair tags.
