A sabbatical journey of discovery: patient safety.
نویسنده
چکیده
This is the second in a series of reports to share key learnings from my sabbatical. In spring and summer of 2005, I took a three-month journey through Scandinavia, Europe, Ireland and the United Kingdom to observe innovation in nursing service delivery, in particular, nursing-led services; to explore outcome measurement as it relates to nursing services; to look at patient satisfaction and improving patients’ experience as a form of outcome measurement; to learn about palliative care; and to examine ways in which organizations, professional associations and policy makers are attempting to move nursing and healthcare services delivery into the future. I met with leaders in nursing and other health professions, policy makers, faculty and research units. During site visits, I spent time observing nurses at work. I visited teaching hospitals, district or community hospitals, community services, hospices and telehealth facilities. Our international colleagues extended a warm welcome, helped me gain exposure to things that might be of interest and were eager to learn about our practices in Canada. The focus of this report is patient safety, especially infection control and patient-centred care.
