Patient Safety Theme-ometer

Tom Rollinson and Aklak  examines a novel way to manage healthcare patient safety themes from initial recognition, all the way through to targeted improvements.

The video blog goes through each step and discusses the opportunities and challenges in implementing these in large healthcare organisations. 

The patient safety theme-ometer is a potential framework for anyone who is interested in collating learning themes from patient safety incidents, structured judgement reviews, patient complaints, friends and family comments and coroner’s inquests.

The patient safety theme-ometer steps are: 

1. Coding learning themes 

2. Triangulating themes 

3. Prioritising themes 

4. Sharing themes 

5. Focusing improvement from these themes 

We hope you will find the blog helpful.
