Aim and the benefit of the Patient Safety Practice
|
| |
|
Predicting the potential risk that may occur in the transfer to a new hospital opening a Polyvalent intensive care unit. Avoid potential risks and events that could affect the patient during the course of the transfer. Safety of critical patients was maintained during transport to the new intensive care unit.

Description of the Patient Safety Practice
|
| |
The transfer took place on a single day, but preparations were made in different stages, over several weeks.
We designed a risk management plan that would minimize the occurrence of safety incidents. This plan was developed in different phases
1. First Phase
- Recommend improvements to better visualize architectural character to patients.
- Establishment of a management unit, consisting of a medical coordinator and nursing.
- Risk analysis and implementation of safety barriers:
*Review and development of all necessary equipment for the move.
*Developing checklists in which you would check, what material had to move the patient, the equipment of the new unit.
*Classification of patients according to severity criteria.
*Planning each professional activity during transfer.
*Development of a communication plan with ICU practitioners and other hospitals.
*Attendance at briefings promoted by Nursing Directorate and the Technical Office.
*Briefings for professionals in the unit.
2. Previous day
- Resolution of outstanding issues in the new unit replacement stores, lack of equipment.
- Meeting management unit with ICU transfer service manager to establish strategies and calculate the time.
- Delivery checklists for professionals.
- Review all the medical equipment necessary for the journey.
- Coordination with life support vehicles. All patients move with doctor and nurse responsible for the patient.
3. Day of transfer
- The night shift starts preparing for the removal.
- The morning shift starts at 7:30 their schedule.
- Duplication of service. Supporting nursing staff.
- Clinic session with unit manager and supervisor, for the assessment of patients and to establish the priority of the transfer.
- Relocation coordinators are responsible for communicating to staff the starting order for patients to the new hospital
- Regular communication between the two hospitals and ambulances.
RESULTS
The constitution of the management unit, the analysis of potential failures and effects to identify risks that could be produced, the use of checklists and communication strategy used has been the critical success factors to achieve these results and ensure participation and satisfaction of the professionals of the unit.
