BackgroundAdverse events are a reality in clinical practice. Reducing the prevalence of preventable adverse events by stemming their causes requires health managers’ engagement.ObjectiveThe objective of our study was to develop an app for mobile phones and tablets that would provide managers with an overview of their responsibilities in matters of patient safety and would help them manage interventions that are expected to be carried out throughout the year.MethodsThe Safety Agenda Mobile App (SAMA) was designed based on standardized regulations and reviews of studies about health managers’ roles in patient safety. A total of 7 managers used a beta version of SAMA for 2 months and then they assessed and proposed improvements in its design. Their experience permitted redesigning SAMA, improving functions and navigation. A total of 74 Spanish health managers tried out the revised version of SAMA. After 4 months, their assessment was requested in a voluntary and anonymous manner.ResultsSAMA is an iOS app that includes 37 predefined tasks that are the responsibility of health managers. Health managers can adapt these tasks to their schedule, add new ones, and share them with their team. SAMA menus are structured in 4 main areas: information, registry, task list, and settings. Of the 74 users who tested SAMA, 64 (86%) users provided a positive assessment of SAMA characteristics and utility. Over an 11-month period, 238 users downloaded SAMA. This mobile app has obtained the AppSaludable (HealthyApp) Quality Seal.ConclusionsSAMA includes a set of activities that are expected to be carried out by health managers in matters of patient safety and contributes toward improving the awareness of their responsibilities in matters of safety.

“…Esto se traduce en 4 millones de pacientes infectados y 40.000 muertes directas atribuibles a las infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria, sólo en Europa 1 4 para los hospitales, las infecciones nosocomiales poseen una prevalencia que se sitúa en la media europea (7,1%), con un rango que va del 6,9% al 7,3%. Por otro lado, en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud, el 7,4% de los eventos adversos que se producen en los centros de salud españoles está relacionado con las infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria 5 .…”

Higiene de las manos: conocimientos de los profesionales y áreas de mejora

et al. 2015

El objetivo fue analizar los conocimientos sobre la higiene de las manos de los profesionales del Sistema Sanitario Público Andaluz (España). Estudio mediante encuestas en 2011, utilizando el Hand Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire for Health-Care Workers con la técnica de análisis de clases latentes. La media de respuestas correctas fue de 17,51 ± 3,68. Las preguntas con porcentajes de respuestas correctas más bajos son las referidas a la prevención, mediante la higiene de las manos, de la transmisión de microorganismos después de la exposición al paciente y aquellas relacionadas con la utilización de preparados de base alcohólica. Se obtuvo un modelo de 7 clases latentes. Principales diferencias socio-demográficas: los profesionales con conocimientos más bajos suelen ser hombres, jóvenes y no sanitarios; el haber recibido formación previa no discrimina a los que presentan excelentes conocimientos. Concluimos que la revisión de los programas de formación en higiene de las manos es necesaria para mejorar los conocimientos sobre aspectos conceptuales de la transmisión de microorganismos a través de las manos.
