Safety alerts
Good catch for patient safety The MHA Good Catch for Patient Safety award is presented to Minnesota hospital staff who demonstrate their commitment to keeping patients safe by "speaking up" to prevent potential harm to a patient. MHA encourages individual and team nominations, or nominations for system or organizational process and safety improvements that were made to prevent near misses and good catches from reaching patients. It is because of actions taken every day by dedicated professionals like the Good Catch Award honorees that Minnesota hospitals continue to be front-runners in patient safety. Since its inception there have been a total of 29 Good Catch Award Winners
MHAs quality and patient safety infrastructure MHA has several quality and patient safety committees that are comprised of experts from around the state that assist us with understanding current best practices. Those circled in red indicate that the committee is associated with an AHE. Each AHE data point we discussed early has impacted the work plan of our committees. The Registry Advisory Committee is the committee that first examines the data and recommends that The surgical committee has seen a trend in data indicating that the time out is not being done consistently for all procedures. As a result the surgical committee is spending 2017 improving the time out process and providing organizations with clear expectations. Medication safety is working on developing a medication reconciliation process, perinatal is focused on maternal early warning signs, falls is working on bathroom safety as these continue to be a challenging area and pressure ulcer will focus on device related injuries.
