| Abstract: | Medical errors are faults or failures in healthcare delivery which harm people. These errors can occur at any point in the patient's care process, including diagnosis, treatment, drug administration, and communication. While healthcare personnel play a key role in providing safe and effective care, hospital administration is also responsible for avoiding medical errors. The measures that hospital administration can use to avoid and eliminate medical errors, hence improving patient safety, are discussed here. It entails creating and putting in place rules and procedures for medicine administration, infection control, patient identification, and communication. Adequate resource allocation, including staffing levels, equipment, and technology, is critical for providing safe care. Hospital managers promote a safe culture by encouraging open communication, reporting of errors, and learning from mistakes. They contribute to quality improvement programs by evaluating data, identifying root issues, and putting preventive measures in place. The evaluation emphasizes the advantages of Lean methods for detecting problems and possibilities for improvement, such as process mapping and visual process control. It also addresses how to use Six Sigma tools such as DMAIC methodology and control charts to reduce variance and sustain process improvement. Top management support and dedication are critical for the effective implementation of Lean Six Sigma projects. Healthcare practitioners' knowledge and abilities are improved by ongoing education and training. Errors can be reduced by utilizing healthcare technology systems such as CPOE, EHRs, and barcode medication administration systems. It is critical to collaborate with healthcare professionals through committees and regular meetings. Tracking errors, monitoring patient safety indicators, and establishing accountability mechanisms through audits and performance evaluations are also important responsibilities of hospital administration. It is a collective responsibility towards a common goal of Patient safety. |
