Patient safety in healthcare centres is one of the greatest concerns for medical professionals. However, there are many facilities who compromise on their safety promises. In order to ensure safety of patients, there are a few contributory factors to be taken into consideration:
Hygiene
Hospitals have all kinds of patients making visits all through the day. It increases the likelihood of spreading infections among people – those taking care of patients, nurses as well as other staff. The infections are caused by improper hygiene, which always remains a major issue among the authorities. Proper hygiene means ensuring that all surfaces – walls, floors, tables, and counter tops are clean and sterile. Authorities should ensure using fresh linen of beds, and nurses as well as other staff have their hands clean in proper manner.
Equipment
Medical equipment is of utmost importance when it comes to patient safety in hospitals. Having good set of properly functioning equipment is essential to ensure effective patient care and their safety. Those operating the equipment should be properly trained to handle or work with the machine. There are many instances when death or injury happens due to medical negligence due to alleged equipment malfunction, therefore caution should be taken to avoid any such instances.
Proper waste management
Hospital is a source of some seriously hazardous wastes which can be life-threatening for humans. Proper disposal or management should be planned for waste to avoid any contact with it.
