The long-term goal with Vision Zero is that no single patient shall be harmed due to medical error. This is a vision we share with everyone working with healthcare. Reduced error rates are believed to also improve healthcare efficiency. In order to take significant steps towards Vision Zero and to limit the growing scarcity of healthcare resources we believe we need...
...a change of mindset. When an error occurs, the thought in peoples’ minds should be: “-How can we improve processes to prevent it from happening again”?
...a systematic approach. The Vision Zero can never be reached only by changing and improving individuals. Structured systems designed to help medical professionals to continuously build competency and proficiency need to be developed and integrated into daily medical practice.
