The death rate of patients is increasing day by day due to poor safety and treatment given in hospitals. Around 10 per cent of patients admitted to hospitals experience a patient safety incident that puts their health or life at risk. Researches showed that up to half of these incidents could have been prevented. The death was majorily because they did not follow the safety norms.
So bring in your ideas on how to ensure safety of patients?

limit shifts for hospital staff

idea posted by Ratnakar Naik General Practitioner, Apollo Group

Consider options to minimize shifts of more than 16 consecutive hours by residents, interns, and nurses working in hospitals. They get distracted if compelled to work for more time. They just don't put their maximum efforts and hence limit the safety rules.

minimize unnecessary interruptions.

idea posted by Adesh Dalvi Marketing Executive, TAJ

Reduce distractions faced by the nursing staff, especially during critical times such as shift changes. Encourage staff to speak up when necessary, but create a "zone of silence" near medication preparation carts and other areas where concentration is essential.
