10 TH AMERICAN PEDIATRICS HEALTHCARE &
PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASES CONGRESS
Pediatric Healthcare & Pediatric Infections 2017
The increase in our patients` safety, the implementation
of an effective risk management, the communication
of medical errors and the start up of a fast track pediatric
surgery are currently the key issues discussed within the
public, among politicians and within pediatric medicine. In
the past, first statements are found i.e. in the WHO safety
checklists, the global initiative for emergency and essential
surgical care (GIEESC) and in the millenium development
goals (MDG) out of the years 2008 and 2015. In addition, in
I° World countries like Germany, professional risk managers,
patient safety experts and medical chambers have issued
general guidelines and recommendations for institutional
and clinical risk management in all hospital departments. For
traditional reasons they focus more on adults rather than on
children and of course, more on public health issues than on
(pediatric) surgery. In this communication, well established
patient safety and risk management goals and the current
practice of communicating medical errors are re-focused.
Recent proposals for their adaptation into the specific needs
in pediatric surgery especially fast track pediatric surgery
are re-visited as well. Finally, our results are presented
and discussed to which extent safety tools and the safety
culture out of the aviation sector or other high reliability
organizations (HRO) can be implemented and combined
within a progressive fast track pediatric surgery. The data
are taken out of the all-day practice and experience of the
author and are discussed in form of a literature review.
