Journey towards zero harm – Improving the quality of care and patient safety

Patient safety is a pressing global challenge, especially amid healthcare disruptions accelerated by crises like COVID-19. This highlights the crucial role of evidence-based clinical knowledge and digital tech in ensuring continuous quality improvement. Healthcare professionals worldwide grapple with similar challenges, including rapid changes and information overload. Addressing the burden of unsafe care is vital to prevent direct harm, waste, and erosion of patient confidence. Healthcare leaders must prioritize creating safe decision-making environments and equipping professionals with essential tools and knowledge.

Fostering a culture of evidence

Rapid changes, such as AI language models, highlight the need to distinguish accurate information from misinformation. Health systems should prioritize evidence, fostering a culture of research. This equips professionals with skills for informed decisions, enhancing research quality and healthcare outcomes. However, as clinical data volume surges, researchers struggle to assess study credibility. Initiatives like the Confidence in Research Economist Impact report opens in new tab/window developed with Elsevier, emphasize the importance of careful research practices. Librarians, through training and collaboration, can support good health research practices, ensuring publication standards are met.

The Empowered Clinician: Advancing the Profession through an Interdisciplinary Care Model

Healthcare systems face complexity, burnout, and slow digital adoption. Care fragmentation and adverse events result. Underutilization of nurses is a concern. Prioritizing nursing leadership strengthens the workforce, improves outcomes, and enhances job satisfaction. Developing resilience and self-care skills is vital for combating burnout and cultivating future nurse leaders.
