Reducing the risk of healthcare litigation: essential medical-legal recommendations

Reducing the risk of legal action in healthcare rests on three pillars: traceability, patient information, and medical confidentiality. Medical records are the main evidence in the event of a dispute: every action, decision, or observation must be dated, signed, and factual. Accurate and understandable information provided to the patient, including risks and alternatives, must be traced to prove informed consent. Finally, strict data confidentiality, in accordance with HAS and GDPR requirements, greatly limits the medico-legal risk for caregivers and institutions.

Human factors in medication safety: when the wings fall off

The safety of injectable drugs remains a major patient safety issue, despite advances in human factors. Intravenous medication errors are mainly linked to systemic failures: lack of standardization, illegible labeling, unrealistic procedures, and excessive reliance on individual vigilance. The approaches recommended by the ANSM, SFAR, and SFPC emphasize the importance of safe system design, standardization of practices, and the use of ready-to-administer drugs. Integrating human factors can sustainably reduce risks, serious adverse events, and medico-legal impact.

Changing minds, saving lives: how training psychological safety transforms healthcare

This article is the result of a collaboration between the teams of Vinmec Healthcare System, SimForAll, and SafeTeam Academy. It integrates different simulation modalities to evolve the safety culture within the anesthesia department of Vinmec Healthcare System.

Improving patient safety through better team communication

The impact of stress on the memorization and attention of caregivers

Professionalism in Healthcare

What are the characteristics of a professional caregiver? To answer this question, it's interesting to put ourselves in the patient's shoes by asking the following question: "What attributes foster a climate of trust when I consult a healthcare professional?"

Crisis management in anesthesia

Despite considerable progress in patient safety in anesthesia, serious adverse events can still have a high incidence during the perioperative period. However, in emergency situations, time and cognitive capacities are often limited. Healthcare professionals find it more difficult to recall a list of actions to be taken, and the risk of succumbing to cognitive biases is increased. With this in mind, SafeTeam Academy has developed a new e-learning course for anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists "Management of critical situations in the operating room" which also allows for the validation of Continuing Professional Development.

The pedagogical effectiveness

Pedagogical effectiveness is a priority for anyone responsible for training their teams. The main goal of pedagogy is the transmission of knowledge and skills. In a context where training organizations are multiplying, it is essential to define what pedagogical effectiveness really is in order to maximize the acquisition of knowledge and skills by learners.

Facilitated identification in Healthcare

Knowing the name and function of the different people present in a team is a fundamental axis for facilitating non-technical skills such as communication or teamwork. Although facilitated identification can be implemented in many ways, SafeTeam Academy is committed to presenting the fabric name cap, which is one of the methods that seems the most effective but also the most ecological.

Implicit biases that influence the quality of care

Implicit biases, or when gender, religion, weight, intelligence, or skin color influence the quality of care. While caregivers are required to treat all patients equally, it is naive to think that certain characteristics will not unconsciously influence them. While the explanations for these associations (racism, sexism, fatphobia, homophobia, etc.) must be vigorously combated, implicit associations are more complex to grasp.

Improve the reliability of medication administration

The medication circuit... this title alone demonstrates a reflection on making medication administration more reliable. A process that has become quite complex due to the diversity of pathologies, interactions, computerized prescriptions, degrees of urgency, the diversity of therapeutics, and the involvement of different healthcare professionals in the care process. The risks of accidents of all causes have never been so significant, as evidenced by institutional statistics on this issue. Among these accidents, those related to medication errors occupy a large part.

Organization of a Morbidity and Mortality Review Meeting

The growing complexity of care activities, combined with pressure on human resources, increases the risk of undesirable events. Identifying and understanding these events through a systemic analysis is fundamental to learning from them (and preventing their recurrence). To guarantee patient safety, RMMs and CREXs, which emphasize root cause analysis and teamwork, are key solutions. To find out more, read the SafeTeam Academy's advice.

Psychological safety

The most productive teams need psychological safety that allows them to say what they think, take moderate risks, and be creative. To develop the performance of a work team, it is necessary that these people are confident enough to dare to speak up, without fear of judgment. Discover SafeTeam Academy's advice for developing psychological safety in your hospital.

Develop leadership skills in crisis situations

Leadership is a fundamental non-technical skill for performance and safety of care. However, this skill is not taught to either management or healthcare professionals. Inseparable from management in its ability to unite and mobilize caregivers around common goals, leadership must be present at all levels of a hospital and act at the team level, as close as possible to the field, where actions are implemented.

Emergency Room Patient Admission

According to ANAP, the emergency department is one of the main entry points into a healthcare establishment. The Reception Organizing Nurse plays a key role in the safety and quality of care. Adopting best practices, knowing the essential points of identity vigilance, being able to assess a patient's clinical condition and orientate him/her, but also securing transmissions between caregivers... IOA cannot be improvised. Find out how from the SafeTeam Academy.

Team debriefing and announcement of care-associated harm.

The reporting of a healthcare-associated harm is primarily a patient-centered approach. To participate in improving the safety of care, each professional must provide transparent and comprehensive information to the patient. Supporting a patient in difficult moments requires adapted communication, which cannot be improvised. Discover the advice of the SafeTeam Academy.

Simulation: a pretext for debriefing

Simulation brings together several conditions conducive to learning: it allows one to understand an environment close to reality, to understand its complexity, but also to reflect on one's own thoughts, actions, and emotions. However, simulation can take several forms. The important thing to keep in mind: it remains a pretext for debriefing.

Vigilance measures to combat identity errors

Both users and healthcare professionals are not always aware of the risks generated by imperfect identification. Indeed, in the care pathway, patient identification generally takes the form of a simple discussion. This unperceived criticality is a risk factor for identity vigilance errors. Discover the advice from SafeTeam Academy.

Improve the reliability of handovers and medication administration in the "wards": solutions for medical and surgical departments

Medical accidents are partly due to defects in communication and information transmission. In order to guarantee patient safety, it is necessary to implement strategies to secure information transmissions. Discover the advice of the SafeTeam Academy.

Managing violent patients: a daily organizational challenge

The hospital is a place conducive to violent acts due to the factors that can be found there. It is a place where anguish, tension, and emotions are favored, to the point where violence seems to have taken an important part in the daily life of caregivers. Let's learn to implement strategies for preventing violent episodes.

Promoting benevolent care and preventing mistreatment in nursing homes

Medication safety: understand human factors to prevent errors throughout the medication cycle and train teams with the SafeTeam Academy.

Medication safety is a major patient safety issue in healthcare facilities. Medication errors, which are often preventable, are linked to the complexity of the medication circuit and to human and organizational factors. From prescription to administration, each step requires effective safety barriers and a shared culture of error analysis. The SafeTeam Academy's "Medication Circuit – P38" training course uses video simulation, real-life cases, and debriefing to reinforce professional practices, reduce risks, and meet HAS certification requirements.
