Suzanne’s medical history included caesarean sections, Two months later Suzanne presented to
hospital suffering severe anal pain. A doctor performed an anal dilation under general anaesthesia
and retrieved a surgical retractor . The doctor thought that the retractor had been left inside
Suzanne after her caesareans and it had worked its way gradually through the peritoneum into the
rectum. noted the presence of gross adhesions, or scarring, to the peritoneum, the instrument was
most likely to have been left inside Suzanne during her caesarean and remained there.
WHY ARE WE HERE?
1) Change the culture and systems of healthcare
2) Put emphasis on compliance with standards and on
continuous improvement
3) Move from culture of “blame” to “safety”
Introduction
Introduction
The “perfectibility” model, which assumes that if health-
care workers care enough, work hard enough, and are
well trained, errors will be avoided.
International experts, tells us that this attitude is simply

was intended:
When someone is
trying to do the right
thing, but actually
does the wrong thing.
The difference between what was actually done and what
should have been done.
Two main types of failures
1- Actions do not go as intended:
2- The intended action is the wrong one
1- Actions do not go as intended:
Called error of execution and described as being either a:
Slip, if the action is observable,
An example of a slip
is accidentally pushing the wrong button on a piece of equipment.
lapse, if it is not.
An example of a lapse
is a memory failure, such as forgetting to administer a medication
2-Errors & Violation.ppt for accreditation
2- The intended action is the wrong one
When the intended action is actually incorrect
called a ‘mistake’.
(A mistake is a failure of planning).
This can be either:
■Rule-based, when the wrong rule is applied,
or
■knowledge-based, when a clinician does not
take the correct course of action.
■ A rule-based mistake:
Getting the diagnosis wrong and
so <<<<<<<<
an inappropriate treatment plan.
■ Knowledge-based mistakes
When providers are confronted
with unfamiliar clinical
situations.

”?
Individual health professionals are required to be accountable for
their actions, maintain competence and practise ethically.
They are required to act responsibly, many health professionals
break professional rules, such as using incorrect hand hygiene
techniques or letting junior and inexperienced providers work
without proper supervision, cut corners and think that this is the
way that things are done. Such behaviours are not
acceptable.
Reason studied the role of violations
Routine violations
Example: fail to practise hand hygiene between
patients because they feel they are too busy
Optimizing violations
Example: Senior professionals who let juniors perform a
procedure without proper supervision because they are busy
with their private patients. This category involves violations in
which a person is motivated by personal goals, such as greed
(the performance of unnecessary
procedures.
Necessary violations
Example:
Because of time constraints, A person who
deliberately does something they know to be
dangerous or harmful does not necessarily intend
a bad outcome, but poor understanding of
professional obligations.
NEAR MISS
NEAR MISS
Incident that did not cause harm.
Some call “near hits” because the
actions may have caused an
adverse event, but corrective
action was taken just in time or the
patient had no adverse reaction to
the incorrect treatment.
Individual factors that
Individual factors that
predispose to error
predispose to error
 Limited memory capacity
 Fatigue, Stress, Hunger, Illness, language ,Cultural
factors, Hazardous attitudes.
That was developed in the aviation
industry is useful as a self-
assessment technique to determine
whether a health-care professional
is fit for work.
(Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion)

Situation associated with
increased risk of error
increased risk of error
 Unfamiliarity with the task
(especially if combined with lack of supervision)
 Inexperience
 Shortage of time
 Inadequate checking
 Poorly designed procedures
 Poor human-equipment interface
■ Inexperience
It is very important that health-care
providers do not perform a
procedure on a patient, or
administer a treatment for the first
time without appropriate
preparation and supervision by
experienced staff.
2-Errors & Violation.ppt for accreditation
2-Errors & Violation.ppt for accreditation
■ Time pressures
Time pressures encourage
health-care providers to cut
corners and take shortcuts when
they should not.
( e.g Not cleansing hands properly, or a pharmacist not
taking the time to properly counsel someone receiving
medication).
■ Contingency teams
Teams formed for
emergent or specific
events (e.g. cardiac-arrest
teams, disaster-response teams,
obstetric-emergency teams, rapid-
response teams).
The members of a
contingency team are
drawn from a variety of
core teams.
■ Inadequate checking
Checking saves patients from
receiving the wrong
medications.
Routinely check drugs and assist the other members of the health-care team in making
sure each patient receives the correct dosage of the correct drug via the correct route
2-Errors & Violation.ppt for accreditation
■ Poor procedures
Includes:
• inadequate preparation,
• inadequate staffing
• inadequate attention to a particular patient.
Some health-care providers may be required to use equipment
without fully understanding how to use it.
■ Inadequate information
- Professional recoding the patient details accurately, in a timely
way and in legible handwriting in the patient record (medical
record) and up-to-date.
Misinformation, incorrect and inadequate information are often
factors contributing to adverse events.
Ways to learn from errors
■ Incident reporting
Incident reporting and monitoring involve collecting and analyzing
information about an adverse event that could have harmed or
did harm a patient in a clinical setting.
An incident-reporting system is a fundamental component of an
organization’s ability to learn from error.

2-Errors & Violation.ppt for accreditation
■ Incident monitoring
Continuous activity of health-care teams involves:
Discussion about incidents as a routine item at the weekly staff meetings;
A weekly review of areas where errors are known to occur;
A detailed discussion about the facts of an incident and follow-up action
required—this discussion should be educational rather than focusing on blame;
Identification of system-related issues and problems to be addressed and made
known.
Fitness to practice
Is an important component of patient safety.
1- Health-care providers must have attributes, such as compassion,
empathy and a vocational aspiration to provide benefit to patients.
These are necessary for safe and ethical practice.
2- Health-care organizations are required to check that health-
care providers have the appropriate qualifications and are
competent to practice.
The processes are as follows:
2-Errors & Violation.ppt for accreditation
Accreditation
Is a formal process to ensure the delivery of safe, high-quality
health care, based on standards and processes devised and
developed by health-care professionals for health-care services.
Registration (licensure)
Most countries require health-care providers to be registered with a
government authority to help protect the health and safety of the
public
Credentialing
The process of assessing and conferring approval on a person’s
suitability to provide specific patient care and treatment services,
within defined limits, based on an individual's license, education,
training, experience, and competence.
Dormicum 2mg and Fentanyl 25 ug I.V ordered verbally.
The nurse administered the 2 drugs according to
physicians verbal order and then flushed the line with 5
ml normal saline (NS) >>>
An Extra dose of 5 mg Dormicum was given to the patient
due to diluted Dormicum (1mg/ml) was mistaken as NS
Please
