Recognising Risk and Improving Patient Safety - Mildred's Story Video
Patient Safety - Mildred's Story
Mildred's Story was produced to form part of a 'Recognising Risk and Improving Patient Safety' course. The course takes a novel approach to educating healthcare professionals about the importance of non-clinical skills, behaviour and attitudes in assuring patient safety.
It draws upon the experiences of patients within healthcare settings, and knowledge gained from other high-risk industries, to develop a strategy enabling healthcare workers to critically appraise and intervene in the development of patient risk.
Mildred's Story has been reconstructed from the actual experiences of a number of patients.
Part One (Mildred's Flat) Introductory/Exemplary Care
Part Two (A & E Department) Situational Awareness
Part Three (Care of the Elderly Ward) Communication
Part Four (Outside Theatre) Leadership
Part Five (Recovery Room) Empowerment
Part Six (Orthopaedic Ward) Empowerment
The film was produced with financial assistance from the National Patient Safety Agency. It was directed and filmed by University of Leicester ITS-Multimedia Services and written by Paul Allsop, Steve Overton, Nicole Stewart and Paul Stewart.
Comments on "Recognising Risk and Improving Patient Safety - Mildred's Story"
I had a personal ... I had a personal experience in unfit patient care in hospitals that I? wanted to stay at home for my family can better care for me.
Ok, now with all ... Ok, now with all this high tech equipment and indepth knowledge of healthcare professionals, this is the type of care patients and families are forced to suffer with today. You can have a world of knowledge and still know nothing. Communication and organization is greatly lacking here. With all this being known, has healthcare really progressed that much since ancient history. It? seems to have taken two steps forward and two steps back.
Thank you so much ... Thank you so much for posting. I try to tell people whats really going on in healthcare today, but most probably think I'm exaggerating. Things have? gotten really bad and I can only see them getting worse. The lack of communication is the main thing that caused this tragedy, along with the delays in treatement. Oh how many tears I have cried being on both ends of these types of situations.
