The authors of this book set out a system of safety strategies and
interventions for managing patient safety on a day-to-day basis and
improving safety over the long term. These strategies are
applicable at all levels of the healthcare system from the
frontline to the regulation and governance of the system. There
have been many advances in patient safety, but we now need a new
and broader vision that encompasses care throughout the patient's
journey. The authors argue that we need to see safety through the
patient's eyes, to consider how safety is managed in different
contexts and to develop a wider strategic and practical vision in
which patient safety is recast as the management of risk over time.
Most safety improvement strategies aim to improve reliability and
move closer toward optimal care. However, healthcare will always be
under pressure and we also require ways of managing safety when
conditions are difficult. We need to make more use of strategies
concerned with detecting, controlling, managing and responding to
risk. Strategies for managing safety in highly standardised and
controlled environments are necessarily different from those in
which clinicians constantly have to adapt and respond to changing
circumstances. This work is supported by the Health Foundation. The
Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing
about better health and health care for people in the UK. The
charity's aim is a healthier population in the UK, supported by
high quality health care that can be equitably accessed. The
Foundation carries out policy analysis and makes grants to
front-line teams to try ideas in practice and supports research
into what works to make people's lives healthier and improve the
health care system, with a particular emphasis on how to make
successful change happen. A key part of the work is to make links
between the knowledge of those working to deliver health and health
care with research evidence and analysis. The aspiration is to
create a virtuous circle, using what works on the ground to inform
effective policymaking and vice versa. Good health and health care
are vital for a flourishing society. Through sharing what is known,
collaboration and building people's skills and knowledge, the
Foundation aims to make a difference and contribute to a healthier
population.
