How are patient safety incidents handled at RACH?

At Ransom Army Community Hospital, patient safety incidents are handled through a systematic approach that emphasizes documentation and review for the purpose of continuous improvement. By documenting incidents, RACH can analyze patterns, identify root causes, and implement preventive measures to enhance patient safety. This practice not only helps in addressing specific incidents but also fosters a culture of transparency and accountability within the organization. The aim is to ensure that lessons learned from these incidents are shared throughout the facility, leading to improved practices and reduced risks for future patients.

This thorough review process is crucial for maintaining high standards of care and making informed decisions based on data rather than anecdotal evidence. It plays a vital role in promoting a proactive approach to patient safety, as opposed to simply reacting to incidents as they arise.
