One of the topics at the event might be of interest – it looks at quality management and patient safety, and you can see below what kind of comments one of the speakers is preparing for the event. We can make her available to chat to you about the topic and about why we believe it needs to be discussed at the event.
“Quality as a key item on the executive agenda”
Healthcare leaders have a significant role in quality management and patient safety programs. Conversations about quality management should go beyond compliance and aim to transform the culture and practices within institutions.
“Board members ought to be suitably skilled to ask the right questions about quality and patient safety and hold managers accountable. They should request reports with quality and safety matrix and, in addition, request narrative reports on issues related to harm to patients, staff members and other users,” says Dr Brenda Kubheka, Managing Director of Health IQ Consulting.
She will be speaking on the subject of quality management and patient safety, at this month’s Africa Health Conference at Gallagher Estate.
“Organisational leadership must be transformational to foster a shared sense of purpose, build significant social capital, and adopt a leadership style fostering cooperation. Healthcare is a “team sport”; everyone, including patients and their families, has a significant role to play,” she explains.
Healthcare quality management is about promise-keeping and, therefore, not an elective. It is critical for building trust inside and outside the organisation. Internally, it rallies the management teams to commit to quality improvement and cultivating a positive patient safety culture.
“To achieve relevant, effective, and sustainable improvement, healthcare organisations should invest in patient safety and implementation research to build consensus around themes identified for improvement. Measurements assist in determining the baseline and therefore enable monitoring of progress and effectiveness of interventions,” says Dr Kubheka.
