Overview

Randomized trial improves safety events during patient transport, highlighting the need for integrated workflow strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to enhance patient transport safety at Newark Beth Israel Medical by identifying vulnerable process steps.
  • Utilized Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to evaluate 28 steps in the patient transport process.
  • Identified five critical steps for improvement and integrated action plans into daily workflows.
  • Updated policies and developed workflow algorithms to support ongoing safety.
  • Achieved zero safety events (SSE5) for all of 2020 and through July 2021.
  • Successfully hardwired improvements into the daily practice, demonstrating effective risk mitigation.
