Consumers as partners - Martin Hatlie JD
From Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare
www.psqh.com
To date, almost all patient safety reform agendas [ in the USA ] have marginalized consumer input. ...These approaches fail to appreciate that not all, but many consumers are intelligent, fully-functioning adults... Indeed, at this moment in history some consumers have been trained and work in industries significantly ahead of healthcare in understanding organizational risk management, systems-based quality improvement, high-reliability performance, teamwork, and communication in complex, dynamic, human enterprises.
... Other developed countries appear to be moving forward significantly faster [than the USA] on implementation. The UK, Australia, and Canada already have patient safety authorities in place ... In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a World Alliance for Patient Safety in October of this year [2004] dedicated to "bringing significant benefits to patient sin countries rich and poor, developed and developing, in all corners of the globe(WHO,2004)" Under the leadership of Sir Liam Donaldosn, MSC MD,chief medical officer of England, the WHO Alliance includes six action ares, including a global challenge to reduce healthcare-associated infection in 2005-2006 and, notably, a Patient for Patient Safety initiative that actually relies on consumers to develop and leadimplementation of its objectives.
Progress elsewhere may be partially explained by structural differences..., less ...litigation ... [and] leadership...[ and the role of public health.]
JCAHO is also poised to play a key role in coordinating WHO patient safety work in the U.S.
