Patients’ Expectations • Cure • Correct, speedy, low cost, lasting treatment • Emergency care • No new disease It takes too • No harmful procedure/ complication long!! Nobody • Care Cares!! • Psychological well being & courteous behaviour • Clean, inviting atmosphere • Personalised approach
How Safe is Health Care?
Global Burden • Occurrence of adverse events due to unsafe care is likely to be one of the 10 leading causes of death & disability. § 70 Lakhs* surgical patients suffer significant complications each year, resulting into death of 10 Lakh such patients § 1.7 Lakhs* admissions annually in USA due to Patient harm § 15% of hospital expenditure on treatment of safety failure in OECD countries • 50% of such harm is preventable *1 million = 10 lakhs
Indian Scenario q In India around 5.2 million injuries occur due to medical errors, resulting in around 3 million preventable deaths every year. q For every 100 Hospitalization, approx. 12.7 adverse events occur. (Ashsih Jha, BMJ Quality & Safety, Sept 2013) 5
Global age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 population due to AEMT 460 180 167.26 440 170 420 160 141.02 400 150 Global 380 140 India 128.68 360 130 121.99 340 120 320 110 300 100 1990 2000 2010 2017 Adverse Event of Medical Treatment (AEMT): “unintended injury due to medical care leading to an extended hospital stay, disability at the time of discharge, serious and devastating long-term irreversible consequences or death”.
