Organised by: EUPHA (INJ) EUPHA (PR) Contact: paulo.sousa@ensp.unl.pt Health care systems worldwide share common goals in order to improve the quality and safety of care, despite some differences in structure, resources, accountabilities and priorities. Patient safety is widely recognized as an essential component of health care. For that reason, improving patient safety has become a core issue for many countries. There is a great amount of evidence that health care services around the world occasionally and unintentionally harm patients. In recent years, different studies have estimated that around 4% to 17% of hospital admissions have resulted in an adverse event and that up to half of these events were preventable. The effects of harming a patient are widespread and represent a significant burden from a clinical, economic and social perspective. There can be devastating emotional and physical consequences for patients and their families. For the staff involved too (second victims), incidents can be distressing, while members of their clinical teams can become demoralized and disaffected. Therefore, the occurrence of adverse events also has impact in healthcare organizations (third victim) in terms of reputation and the increase of costs. Despite improvements in healthcare interventions, patient safety is nowadays a serious problem for all stakeholders, with several implications in different clinical areas and level of care, constituting a major contributor to the global burden of diseases and a concern for Public Health. Objectives Our aims with this workshop are to: 1) highlight the issue of patient safety and adverse events as a significant problem and a challenge for Public Health; 2) emphasized the importance of safety measurement across the continuum care; 3) discuss the role of communication and IT tools towards quality and safety improvement; 4) report from ongoing patient safety programs/ experiences/practices across Europe to inspire new learning and practices. The workshop will consist of four presentations and a final plenary discussion. Our hope is that this sharing moment and the discussion that will arise can strengthen contacts and inspire the participants towards increasing the work across Europe for improving this important public health issue. The first presentation gives us the perspective of how important is to measure the safety culture/climate in the healthcare organizations. The authors will share with the audience the results, in this area, that came out from the Norwegian Patient Safety Programme (2014-2018) The second presentation describes a self-assessment tool for Clinical Risk Management (CRM) developed within the Italian National health system, and a set of performance indicators that aims to monitor CRM and improvements in different health care settings. The third and fourth presentations focus on two important issues that are cross-sectional to patient safety in a logic of continuum of care: communication and IT tools and their role towards quality and safety improvement.
