Das COM-Check-Programm zeigt, wie die Compliance mit der OP-Checkliste gemessen und verbessert werden kann. Für eine nachhaltige Checklistenanwendung in hoher Durchführungsqualität empfiehlt Patientensicherheit Schweiz ein regelmässiges Monitoring der Compliance mit Beobachtung und Feedback. Instrumente und Anleitungen werden in der Schriftenreihe 5+ COM-Check – Sichere Chirurgie ab Mitte Januar 2022 publiziert
The aim of the study was to develop quality standards reflecting minimal requirements for safe medication processes in nursing homes.
In a first step, relevant key topics for safe medication processes were deducted from a systematic search for similar guidelines, prior work and discussions with experts. In a second step, the essential requirements for each key topic were specified and substantiated with a literature-based rationale. Subsequently, the requirements were evaluated with a piloted, two-round Delphi study.
We developed normative quality standards for a safer and resident-oriented medication in Swiss nursing homes. Altogether, 85 requirements define the medication processes and the behaviour of healthcare professionals. A rigorous implementation may support nursing homes in taking a step towards safer and resident-oriented medication.
