Health Standards Organization (HSO)’s Post

Today, 17 September, is World Patient Safety Day. The theme set by the World Health Organization this year is “Get it right, make it safe!”, this is focused on improving diagnosis for patient safety. This theme links to the priorities set out in the Government Policy Statement on Health 2024-27. Those priorities are: access, timeliness, quality, workforce and infrastructure, which all contribute to a health system that is focused on outcomes and patient safety.

“Get it right, make it safe!”   This is the theme for World Patient Safety Day 2024, which highlights the critical importance of diagnostic accuracy.   At some point, each and every one of us has been, or will be, a patient – making this a universal issue that affects us all.   I am extremely proud to be part of a community that continually innovates to enhance diagnostic accuracy and safeguard patient safety every step of the way.   But patient safety isn’t just reserved to professionals and providers… Everyone can play an active role in their own health journey.   The World Health Organization encourages us to be proactive by doing the following:   → Share symptoms and medical history during checkups → Not to be shy to ask questions → Keep track of appointments and treatment plans → Follow up on test results → Seek a second opinion if necessary   What tips would you share to help ensure patient safety around the globe?   #WorldPatientSafetyDay #WPSD  #PatientSafety

17 September is World Patient Safety Day (WPSD). This is a World Health Organisation (WHO) global initiative focused on promoting safer healthcare practices and minimising patient harm. The WHO has selected “Improving diagnosis for patient safety” with the slogan “Get it right, make it safe!” as the theme for WPSD 2024. WPSD aims to increase public awareness and improve understanding of patient safety; promote global solidarity and action and address specific patient safety issues. Diagnostic errors account for nearly 16% of preventable harm in health systems, with most adults likely to encounter at leat one diagnostic error in their lifetime. This is why getting diagnostic processes right is critical. Let’s come together to make healthcare safer for everyone.

The WHO's Global Patient Safety Action Plan aims to provide a strategic direction for concrete actions to be taken by countries, partner organisations, care facilities and World Health Organization (WHO). It sets out a vision of a “world in which no patient is harmed in healthcare, and everyone receives safe and respectful care, every time, everywhere” and a goal of achieving the maximum possible reduction in avoidable harm as a result of unsafe care. The WHO's Global Patient Safety Action Plan framework includes seven strategic objectives, which can be achieved through 35 specific strategies represented in this infographic.
