Project News

A total of six lessons of the "Training for Persons in Charge of Patient Safety" were conducted in collaboration with the Quality Management Department, Cho Ray Hospital from September 26 to November 7.

The contents of the training were consisted of Overview of Patient Safety, Incident Report System, 5S, Risk Prediction Training, Root Cause Analysis, and presentation of the Action Plans. After the training, the Project expert team will follow-up and assist the participants to put their "knowledge" that they could understand in the training into "practice" on the job. Those who completed these trainings will be expected to support the Quality Management Department to conduct the publicity of the information of patient safety and the root cause analyses when medical accidents or near-misses occurred.

The Project will continue to provide the training to meet its goal, which is over 80% of all the hospital departments will have sent at least one participant in the training in 5 years.

About the promotion of 5S activities:

The Project and the Quality Management Department are now collaboratively campaigning 5S activities to 12 departments. 5S is a tool to make improvements in the working environment, which stands for "Sort", "Set", "Shine", "Standardize" and "Sustain". Since they were included in a part of the hospital evaluation criteria of the Ministry of Health, 5S activities have already been introduced in many hospitals in Viet Nam.
