The counterparts' training on Quality Management and Patient Safety was conducted from July 23 to August 5 in Japan.

Mr. Moriyama, Expert of Patient Safety/Nursing Management, together with the six counterparts of Cho Ray Hospital, participated in the training at the National Center for Global Health and Medicine (NCGM) and Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital.

The participants learned a lot about the actual condition of the quality management in the hospitals such as incident report system, patient safety patrol and root cause analysis. The team medical care and clinical pathway were also introduced to them. The trainees and the lecturers intensely exchanged opinions about the challenges and solutions in Cho Ray Hospital.

The trainees proposed the following action plans and shared them eagerly:

1. Update the format and reporting method (systematizing and going online).
2. Launch multi-professional teams for the purpose of offering the best available treatment to patients (targeting lung cancer and respiratory care).
3. Introduce Clinical Pathway for the purpose of offering the standardized care to patients.

Even though it was a brief period, the trainees were able to draw up hopeful action plans. The expert team of JICA will support them to accomplish the action plans.
