“…A meta-analysis (Okuyama et al, 2018) shows that the employment dimension is one of three factors with the lowest positive response (36%). Meanwhile, the employment dimension has become a strength area in Japan (Hirose et al, 2013).…”

Patient safety in hospitals is a crucial issue as significant medication errors occur in some countries. Patient safety incidence is inevitably related to safety culture implemented in hospitals. This survey aims to investigate the dimension of patient safety serving as a strong area and dimension for potential improvement. This study used a cross-sectional approach involving 361 subjects in all units in RSUP Dr. Kariadi. Findings are presented in graphs and frequency tables. This study found three dimensions of strength area involving management support regarding patient safety (92.93%), organizational learning-continuous improvement (91.73%), and unit cooperation (86.1%). Meanwhile, the area for potential improvement involving employment (45.43%), incidence report frequency (58.07%), and open communication (60.67%). Dimensions serving as strength areas need to be maintained while dimension for potential improvement need for support to cultivate patient safety culture in RSUP Dr. Kariadi.

In Japan, patient safety has been promoted at all levels since the 1999 landmark adverse medical event at Yokohama City University Hospital (YCUH). However, patients do not believe that health care is becoming safer. Furthermore, two university hospitals (UHs) that were designated as "advanced treatment hospitals" had their status revoked by the Health Ministry as of June 1, 2015 due to patient safety problems. The history of patient safety in Japan can be roughly divided into two terms: 1999-2009 and since 2010. In the first term, a basic patient safety system was established that included the creation of a patient safety division and an incident-reporting system from the perspective of systems error rather than individual responsibility. Additionally, many companies have promoted the improvement and development of drugs and medical devices in collaboration with health care providers. The two recent serious medical errors at UHs seemed to occur partially due to a lack of medical ethics. Unlike in the United States (US), in Japan, there is no medical license renewal system, the organizations that govern physicians are weak, and the framework of lifelong education is inadequate. Therefore, the second term involves a mindset of quality-driven patient safety. It requires health care providers and policy makers to change their mindset toward medical ethics and patient safety by learning from the US and demands a strong organization and framework to govern physicians in Japan.
