Patient safety

Methodological Guide - Interactive Webinar

WHO Patient Safety launched an interactive webinar on the 18th October 2011 to present and discuss the use of one of its recent tools to improve patient safety:

Assessing and tackling patient harm: A methodological guide for data-poor hospitals

This guide is meant to be used by researchers, quality managers, clinicians and other professionals with an interest in understanding and tackling patient safety concerns in hospitals, without needing to rely on good medical records.

The guide comes with a set of supporting materials, such as PowerPoint presentations to train health professionals who will be implementing the protocols and presentations to be used to inform different stakeholders about the different studies.
