Abstract:
Background. Honest and timely reporting of medical errors is the professional and ethical duty of any physician as it can help the patients and their families to understand the condition and enable the practitioners to prevent the consequences of the error. This study aims to investigate the viewpoints of medical interns regarding medical error disclosure in educational hospitals in Shiraz, Iran. Methods. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection. The survey consisted of questions about the medical error disclosure, the willingness to disclose an error, the interns’ experiences and intentions of reporting the medical error, and two scenarios to assess the students’ response to a medical error. Results. Medical interns believed that a medical error must be reported for the sake of conscience and commitment and prevention of further consequences. The most important cause of not reporting an error was found to be inappropriate communication skills among the students. The results indicated that the willingness to disclose the hypothetical error among females was more than males (R < 0.005), but in practice, there was no difference between males and females (R > 0.005). The willingness to disclose minor and major hypothetical errors had a positive correlation ( P < 0.001 , R = 0.848). Conclusion. More ethical training and education of communication skills would be helpful to persuade physicians to disclose medical errors.

Abstract:
Most staffs agreed, for good reasons of honesty and patient autonomy, that admission of errors is important, but the doctors struggled to decide how it should be done. Most agreed that the socio-legal climate in Nepal, and the possible financial implications, made it difficult to be completely honest. Other strong fears included violence from the patient, damage to the hospital’s reputation and to the reputation of the doctors and possible loss of jobs for nurses. The situation seems to be more or less same in other hospitals of Nepal. It is imperative for every hospital in Nepal to have a clinical ethical committee to look after this matter. There must be appropriate hospital policy on dealing with errors. Hospital staffs need specific training in reporting and disclosing error. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v4i4.11954

Abstract:
Abstract The objective of this study is to better understand the tensions involved in the fear of making an error due to the harm and risk this would pose to those involved. This is a qualitative study based on the narratives of the experiences lived by ten acting physicians in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The concept and characterization of errors were discussed, as well as the fear of making an error, the near misses or error in itself, how to deal with errors and what to do to avoid them. The analysis indicates an excessive pressure in the medical profession for error-free practices, with a well-established physician-patient relationship to facilitate the management of medical errors. The error occurs but the lack of information and discussion often leads to its concealment due to fear of possible judgment by society or peers. The establishment of programs that encourage appropriate medical conduct in the event of an error requires coherent answers for humanization in Brazilian medical science.

Abstract:
Introduction: Medical errors are major hazards, and lapses in non-technical skills such as situational awareness contribute to most incidents. Risks are concentrated in acute care, and in crisis situations clinicians can apparently ignore vital information. Poor workplace ergonomics contributes to risk. Existing work into perceptual errors offers insights, but these phenomena have been little researched in medicine. This thesis considers medical non-technical skills and how they are taught, and explores vulnerability to inattentional and change blindness. Methods: Medical human factors and the psychology of perceptual error were reviewed, and a mixed-methods assessment of postgraduate medical curricula completed. Experiments assessed clinicians' interaction with clinical monitoring devices using eye-tracking, and studies were conducted exposing clinicians to various perceptual error stimuli using non-clinical and clinical videos, and simulation. A survey was also conducted to assess clinicians' insight into the phenomena of perceptual error. Results: Non-technical skills feature poorly in medical curricula, and equipment is poorly standardised in critical care areas. Unfamiliar devices slow response times and increase error rate. Clinical training confers no generalisable advantage in perceptual reliability. Even expert clinicians miss important events. Two out of every three life-support instructors for example missed a critical failure in the patient's oxygen supply when watching a recorded emergency simulation. The insight and understanding healthcare staff have of perceptual errors is poor, leading to significant overestimates of perceptual reliability that could have consequences for clinical practice. Conclusions: Perceptual errors represent a latent risk factor contributing to loss of situational awareness. High rates of perceptual error were observed in the video-based experiment. Although lower rates were observed in simulation, important events were still missed by participants that could have serious consequences. The incidence of perceptual error appears sensitive to the method used to test for it, and this has important implications for the design of future experiments testing for these phenomena. Mitigating perceptual error is likely to be challenging, but relatively simple adjustments to team practices in emergency situations may be fruitful.

Abstract:
La sécurité des patients est reconnue depuis une vingtaine comme un des éléments essentiels de la qualité des soins et est devenu une partie intégrante des systèmes de santé. Elle se déclinée en règlementations, outils et stratégies qui touchent tous les secteurs de la médecine. Aujourd’hui les recherches et applications de la sécurité des patients concernent surtout les systèmes de santé des pays les plus développés alors même que deux-tiers des incidents de sécurité estimés se produisent dans les pays à revenu faible ou moyen. Une phase exploratoire a permis de confirmer que la sécurité du patient et la détection et gestion des erreurs médicales n’ont pas encore eu de traduction structurée, adaptée au secteur de l’aide médicale humanitaire. Afin d’essayer de comprendre les raisons de ce décalage, cette thèse s’intéresse au statut actuel et aux perspectives de la sécurité des patients dans l'action médicale humanitaire. Une première partie se penche sur les développements dans les sciences de la sécurité et de la gestion des risques et aborde l’état de connaissance actuelle et les principaux développements en matière de sécurité des patients, et de la gestion des erreurs médicales en particulier. Suit une analyse des caractéristiques de l’action médicale telle que déployée par les organisations médicales.La deuxième phase de la thèse se centre sur des entretiens semi-directifs avec du personnel médical et paramédical actifs au sein de 6 organisations médicales humanitaires pour connaître l’état actuel des développements en matière de sécurité du patient et de la gestion des erreurs médicales. 39 entretiens ont été menés avec du personnel international médical ou paramédical ayant 2 ans d’expérience minimum dans le secteur humanitaire pour comprendre leurs connaissances, attitudes et attentes en matière de sécurité du patient et de la gestion des erreurs médicales dans leur secteur.Il apparait clairement que s’il n’existe actuellement pas encore dans le secteur d’approche structurée de la question de la sécurité du patient et plus spécifiquement de la gestion des erreurs médicales, cela répond clairement à une attente de la part du personnel humanitaire interviewé. Les raisons invoquées pour expliquer ce manque sont de deux ordres. Il y a celles en lien avec les spécificités de l’action médicale humanitaire et celles que l’on a pu retrouver dans les systèmes de santé des pays de l’OCDE.Cette recherche, la première du genre selon nos informations, identifie la motivation du personnel médical et paramédical du secteur humanitaire à s’engager à mener une véritable révolution culturelle pour rendre l’offre de soins plus sûre, même dans des situations précaires
Patient safety is recognized for some 20 years as one of the essential elements of healthcare quality and has become an integral part of healthcare systems. It encompasses regulations, tools and strategies that affect all sectors of medicine. Today, research and implementation in the area of patient safety pertain above all to healthcare systems in the most developed countries whereas two thirds of estimated safety incidents occur in low- or mid-income countries.An exploratory phase aiming at developing the research strategy confirmed that patient safety, per se, and the detection and management of medical errors have not yet been translated into the humanitarian assistance sector in a structured and adapted way. In order to understand the reasons for this gap this thesis aims to understand what the current status and perspectives of patient safety in medical humanitarian action are. An initial phase explored developments in the knowledge of safety and risk management and the current state of knowledge and the main developments in patient safety and especially medical error management were explored. Follows an analysis of the characteristics of medical action as carried out by medical humanitarian organisations.The second part of the thesis is centred on semi-directive discussions with medical and paramedical personnel active within six medical humanitarian organisations to understand the knowledge, attitudes and practises with regards to patient safety and medical error management. 39 interviews were done with international medical and paramedical staff with minimum 2 years of experience in the humanitarian sector. It appears clearly that, while there may not yet be a structured approach in the sector regarding patient safety and, specifically, medical error management, this clearly corresponds to an expectation on the part of the humanitarian personnel interviewed.This research, to our knowledge the first of its kind, demonstrates the eagerness of the medical and paramedical staff engaged in humanitarian action to commit to an internal cultural revolution towards a safer healthcare provision, even in precarious situations. Catching up the delays in adopting adapted patient safety and medical error management policies would reinforce the accountability to the vulnerable populations assisted by these organisations and save more lives, the essence of humanitarian purpose

Abstract:
Clinicians rely heavily on accurate laboratory results to diagnose and treat their patients. Laboratory errors can occur in any area of total testing phases, but more than half of the errors occur in the preanalytical phase. Framed by the total quality management theory, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore medical laboratory managers' strategies to reduce preanalytical errors. A purposive sample of 2 organizations with laboratories in southern California participated in semistructured face-to-face interviews. Company A had 2 participants and 3 participants participated in the study from Company B. Each participant had at least 5 years of laboratory experience, with a minimum of 2 years of management experience in preanalytical testing, and had completed one project to minimize laboratory errors. Thematic analysis exposed 5 main themes: quality improvement, recognition, reward, and empowerment, education and training, communication, and patient satisfaction. The participants highlighted the need for organizations to concentrate on quality management to achieve patient satisfaction. To achieve quality services, medical laboratory managers noted the importance of employee engagement, education and training, and communication as successful strategies to mitigate preanalytical errors. The recommendation for action is for laboratory leaders to review and apply effective strategies exposed by the data in this study to reduce preanalytical errors in their medical laboratory. Positive implications of this study include reduction of preanalytical errors, increased operational cost, and improved patient experience.

Abstract:
Background One in ten hospital patients are unintentionally harmed by their healthcare management. Healthcare professionals are often blamed for making mistakes that could be prevented if all the factors influencing human performance were addressed by designing the system to be safer. Hypothesis This thesis is part of the Designing Out Medical Error (DOME) project, which tested the hypothesis that a multidisciplinary team of designers, clinicians, psychologists and business analysts working collaboratively could design interventions to improve patient safety in surgical wards. Methods & Results We used a combination of observational techniques including Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to proactively assess risk in surgical wards. We focused on five high-risk processes: hand hygiene, isolation of healthcare-associated infection, vital signs monitoring, handover communication and medication delivery. Patients and healthcare professionals were involved at every stage and helped co-design a suite of concepts to address risk in these processes. We progressed two prototypes: the Respiratory Rate Recorder and the CareCentre® (a bedside work table containing equipment including alcohol hand-rub) to simulated and clinical trials. The trials demonstrated that the accuracy of manual respiratory rate measurement and the adherence of healthcare workers to hand hygiene guidelines was significantly improved respectively, thus supporting the hypothesis. Conclusion Multidisciplinary collaborations that engage with the teams, processes and equipment of the healthcare system can co-design safer interventions. Better design can influence behaviour and improve the performance of healthcare professionals. The DOME project demonstrates a successful method for others to follow.

Abstract:
Many errors do not lead to adverse consequences for patients, but all errors can have a devastating impact on the health professional that has made the mistake; they are described as the 'second victim' (Wears & Wu, 2000; Wu, 2000). Errors often lead to professional and personal distress, which has implications for the quality and safety of patient care. This thesis explores the impact of making a medical error on the health professional and the strategies used to cope. The objectives of this work are to a) understand health professional's response, b) increase the evidence base about coping with this experience, and c) identify strategies to support health professionals recover. A mixed methods approach was engaged to achieve the research goals. A sequence of studies were developed based on a systematic review of the literature, and further informed by findings at each stage of the research. Studies one and two employed a cross-sectional survey in the UK and then the US to gather a diversity of data regarding responses to error, common experiences, coping strategies, and facilitators and barriers in recovery. Study three used semi-structured interviews with health care managers to explore the context of error, and gather further knowledge of the role of the manager, which was highlighted as significant in studies one and two. Following a brief review of existing attempts to support staff after error, the [mal study used focus group work with multi-disciplinary groups of health professionals to explore support and coping. Empirical data was generated, illustrating the profound impact of making a medical mistake, and the challenges of recovery. The importance of coping strategy selection in recovery from error was established as a crucial area for exploration. The value of peers and managers in the provision of support, and the importance of embedding support in the workplace were also recognised. The thesis concludes that the impact of making a medical error on health professionals is complex, and a multitude of factors can be influential in their experiences. Offering appropriate support is a continuing challenge, but one that is important to address. Undertaking this sensitive, applied research was challenging, but some lessons in developing such work have been learnt which may be applied in future undertakings.

Abstract:

This paper evaluates nursing students’ perceptions and barriers as related to medical error reporting. This study was conducted as a mixed method based on the PS-ASK survey tool designed by Schnall et al (2008). Medical errors are a large problem in healthcare institutions. Understanding the underlying causes of why these events occur is needed in order to prevent repeat occurrences of the same error. However, in order to fully understand the underlying cause of the error, first and foremost, it must be reported. Evaluating nursing students’ perceptions and barriers to utilization of an error reporting system and addressing these issues is a crucial step towards decreasing medical error and improving patient safety. This study found that nursing students have an overall positive attitude toward error reporting. This survey validated the need for instituting a just culture within nursing education, in order to help encourage error reporting, rather than discourage it. Practice changes should be made in nursing education to provide transparency and role modeling with error reporting in order to encourage student accountability for reporting errors.

Class of 2009 Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess the ability of pharmacy, medicine, and nursing students to identify prescribing errors METHODS: Pharmacy, medicine, and nursing students from the University of Arizona were asked to participate in this prospective, descriptive study. Pharmacy and medical students in the last didactic year of their program and traditional bachelor of nursing students in the fourth semester of their program were eligible to participate. Subjects were asked to assess a questionnaire containing three sample prescriptions, evaluate if each was correct and indicate the type of error found, if any. The primary outcome measure was the number of correctly identified prescribing errors. The secondary outcome measure was the number of correct types of error found. Error identification rates for each group were calculated. Comparisons in these rates were made between pharmacy, medicine and nursing students. Chi square tests were used to analyze the nominal data gathered from various groups. RESULTS: Pharmacy students were significantly better able to identify errors than medical and nursing students (p<0.001). Pharmacy students were significantly better able to determine the type of error (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, pharmacy students had higher prescribing error identification rates than medical and nursing students. More studies need to be done to determine the most appropriate way to increase prescribing error identification rates.

Abstract:
Business Administration/Interdisciplinary
Ph.D.
Studies suggest that the majority of hospital errors go unreported. Equally disturbing is that data surrounding near miss events that could have harmed patients has been found to be even sparser. At the core of any medical error reporting effort is a desire to obtain data that can be used to reduce the frequency of errors, reveal the cause of errors, and empower those involved in the healthcare delivery system with the insight required to design methods to prevent the flaws that allow mistakes to occur. Aligned with the adage that “we can’t fix what we don’t know is broke”, the question is raised why does underreporting exist? The likelihood of reporting medical errors is explored as a manifestation of culture. Factors studied include communication and feedback, teamwork, fear of retribution, and leadership support (top management and supervisor). Data is presented using a nationally recognized instrument—the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Culture of Safety survey. Findings from the research are mixed with little positive relationship between the model and number of events reported although each factor is found to be positively associated with an employee’s perceived frequency by which near miss and no harm events are reported. While advances in patient safety have materialized, the act of employees’ actually reporting events still pales in comparison to the number of errors that have likely occurred, regardless of efforts to advance culture. To explore influencers beyond those found in the AHRQ Culture of Safety survey, an overlapping model is presented. This includes studying various underlying factors, such as understanding what constitutes a reportable event, ease of reporting, and knowledge of the processes supporting data submission, along with attempting to better assess the impact of the direct supervisor and incentives in influencing behavior. Findings suggest that these additional factors do contribute, albeit modestly, to the act of reporting errors. When adding tenure and patient interaction to the model, a higher percentage of the variance is explained. In terms of perceived frequency of reporting near misses and no harm events, this model yields similar results to the first, explaining approximately 28% of the variance. The two factors most positively associated with perceived frequency of reporting near miss and no harm events are communication and feedback and infrastructure —suggesting that some unexplored relationship may exist between the overlapping models.

Abstract:
Medical errors are a significant public health concern that affects patient care and safety. Highlighted as a substantial problem in the 1999 Institute of Medicine report, medical errors have become the third leading cause of death in the United States of America. Failure to inform the patient of adverse events caused by a medical error compromises patient autonomy. Disclosure of adverse events to patients and families is critical in managing the consequences of a medical error and essential for maintaining patient trust. When errors occur, healthcare practitioners are faced with the ethical and moral dilemmas of if and to whom to disclose the error. Healthcare providers face these disclosure dilemmas across all disciplines, locations, and generations and have far-reaching implications on healthcare quality and the progress of medicine. We have previously reported the Canadian provincial initiatives encouraging open disclosure of adverse events and have suggested its integration into a 'no-fault' model. Though similar in content, the Canadian provincial initiatives remain isolated because of their non-mandatory nature and absence of federal or provincial laws on disclosure. The purpose of this study was to review and compare the disclosure policies implemented by individual health care regions/authorities in various parts of Canada to identify quality issues related to medical error disclosure based on several ethical and professional principles. The complexities of medical error disclosure to patients present ideal opportunities for medical educators to probe how learners balance the moral complexities involved in error disclosure. Effective communication between health care providers, patients, and their families throughout the disclosure process is integral in sustaining and developing the physician-patient relationship. We believe that the disclosure policies can provide a framework and guidelines for appropriate disclosure, leading to more transparent practices. We suggest that disclosure practice can be improved by creating a uniform policy centered on addressing errors in a non-punitive manner and respecting the patient's right to an honest disclosure and be implemented as part of the standard of care.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This systematic review aimed to assess whether human simulations or machine stimulations programs would help to prevent medical errors and improve patient safety. Information sources: The search terms “Medical Simulation” [Mesh], “Medication Errors” [Mesh], “Patient safety” [Mesh] were implemented, to be as specific and selective as possible. We searched for all the publications in the Medline database, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from 2000 (when the idea of simulation in healthcare to prevent ME was employed for the first time by the Institute of Medicine (IOM)) to Feb 2022 with only English language-based literature Electronic databases.
