Abstract
Background Understanding the patient safety literature has been compromised by the inconsistent use of language. Objectives To identify key concepts of relevance to the International Patient Safety Classification (ICPS) proposed by the World Alliance For Patient Safety of the World Health Organization (WHO), and agree on definitions and preferred terms. Methods Six principles were agreed uponthat the concepts and terms should: be applicable across the full spectrum of healthcare; be consistent with concepts from other WHO Classifications; have meanings as close as possible to those in colloquial use; convey the appropriate meanings with respect to patient safety; be brief and clear, without unnecessary or redundant qualifiers; be fit-for-purpose for the ICPS. Results Definitions and preferred terms were agreed for 48 concepts of relevance to the ICPS; these were described and the relationships between them and the ICPS were outlined. Conclusions The consistent use of key concepts, definitions and preferred terms should pave the way for better understanding, for comparisons between facilities and jurisdictions, and for trends to be tracked over time. Changes and improvements, translation into other languages and alignment with other sets of patient safety definitions will be necessary. This work represents the start of an ongoing process of progressively improving a common international understanding of terms and concepts relevant to patient safety.

Objectives To identify key concepts of relevance to the International Patient Safety Classification (ICPS) proposed by the World Alliance For Patient Safety of the World Health Organization (WHO), and agree on definitions and preferred terms. Methods Six principles were agreed uponthat the concepts and terms should: be applicable across the full spectrum of healthcare; be consistent with concepts from other WHO Classifications; have meanings as close as possible to those in colloquial use; convey the appropriate meanings with respect to patient safety; be brief and clear, without unnecessary or redundant qualifiers; be fit-for-purpose for the ICPS. Results Definitions and preferred terms were agreed for 48 concepts of relevance to the ICPS; these were described and the relationships between them and the ICPS were outlined. Conclusions The consistent use of key concepts, definitions and preferred terms should pave the way for better understanding, for comparisons between facilities and jurisdictions, and for trends to be tracked over time. Changes and improvements, translation into other languages and alignment with other sets of patient safety definitions will be necessary. This work represents the start of an ongoing process of progressively improving a common international understanding of terms and concepts relevant to patient safety.</abstract><note type="author-notes">Address reprint requests to: William Runciman, University of South Australia, Joanna Briggs Institute and Royal Adelaide Hospital, Level 5 McEwin Building, Royal Adelaide Hospital, North Tce Adelaide 5000, SA, Australia</note><subject><genre>Keywords</genre><topic>patient safety</topic><topic>definitions</topic><topic>concepts</topic><topic>terminology</topic><topic>classification</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>International Journal for Quality in Health Care</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal">journal</genre><identifier type="ISSN">1353-4505</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1464-3677</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID">intqhc</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID-hwp">intqhc</identifier><part><date>2009</date><detail type="volume"><caption>vol.</caption><number>21</number></detail><detail type="issue"><caption>no.</caption><number>1</number></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>18</start><end>26</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">1BB94DF7891B657378005A3125096FF6352EB985</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1093/intqhc/mzn057</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">mzn057</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">Published by Oxford University Press 2009</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource>OUP</recordContentSource></recordInfo></mods></metadata><covers><json:item><original>true</original><mimetype>image/tiff</mimetype><extension>tiff</extension><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/1BB94DF7891B657378005A3125096FF6352EB985/covers/tiff</uri></json:item></covers><annexes><json:item><original>true</original><mimetype>image/jpeg</mimetype><extension>jpeg</extension><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/1BB94DF7891B657378005A3125096FF6352EB985/annexes/jpeg</uri></json:item><json:item><original>true</original><mimetype>image/gif</mimetype><extension>gif</extension><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/1BB94DF7891B657378005A3125096FF6352EB985/annexes/gif</uri></json:item><json:item><original>true</original><mimetype>application/pdf</mimetype><extension>pdf</extension><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/1BB94DF7891B657378005A3125096FF6352EB985/annexes/pdf</uri></json:item></annexes><enrichments><istex:catWosTEI uri="https://api.istex.fr/document/1BB94DF7891B657378005A3125096FF6352EB985/enrichments/catWos"><teiHeader><profileDesc><textClass><classCode scheme="WOS">HEALTH POLICY & SERVICES</classCode><classCode scheme="WOS">HEALTH CARE SCIENCES & SERVICES</classCode></textClass></profileDesc></teiHeader></istex:catWosTEI></enrichments><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
