Patient Safety in Surgery. Part 2: Surgical Treatment Quality Management Program

Abstract

The authors have developed and formed a holistic “Quality management and patient safety in surgery program” (Program) structural components and technological elements of a systematic approach to the safety of surgical patients. The Program is based on the coordinated implementation of a wide range of modern sections of the health care system: from the introduction of the principle of standardization, the use of advances in evidence-based medicine, the use of advanced surgical technologies, the development of innovative forms of management and informatization, to issues of efficiency and high social efficiency. The Program is designed to be the base for ensuring the proper quality and the highest possible level of safety in the treatment of surgical patients in any health facilities with surgical services, by optimizing the quality management process.
