While millions receive medical care every day, high profile cases have brought medical errors and patient safety to the public’s attention. There is a clear need to improve the quality of care in the medical system that permits an alarmingly high rate of medical errors that harm tens of thousands of patients and drives up cost. Modern medical care is complex, expensive, and at times dangerous. Acute care environments, such as operating rooms and intensive care units are characterized as complex, tightly coupled systems intrinsically prone to accidents. Highly coupled systems are made up of a series of Microsystems-small teams of providers and staff working together to provide care for a defined population of patients.
So wat do you think are the new technologies in patient safety?

Anaesthesiology

idea posted by Ratnakar Naik General Practitioner, Apollo Group

I think this is one of the most trustable method of ensuring patient safety.  The field of anaesthesiology is a celebrated example in health care, in which an organized and continuous effort.Over a period of 20 yrs has led to major improvement in patient safety. The safety of anaesthetic procedures hasimproved several fold in the last 40 years. Many feel that the overall approach in the field of anaesthesiology has led to a 100-fold safer profile than the rest of health care. The tools routinely deployed to make anaesthesia safer include team training, simulation, incident reporting, and safety systems training. However, Anaesthesia for healthy patients is safer than it once was (but further progress may be possible); the rate of anaesthesia-related mortality for all surgical patients is still higher than desired and safety levels can plateau or even diminish over time without constant effort at improvement. The later admonition needs to be taken to heart to ensure the safety of our patients.
