“…1,2 Physicians are encouraged to see themselves as coaches and partners, rather than the sole authority for patients' care. 3,4 This approach produces more cohesive sharing of information, keeping patients and physicians more knowledgeable and capable of making informed, joint decisions. 5,6 Prior research has identified multiple reasons for differences in opinion regarding treatment decisions between patients and their health care providers (HCPs).…”

Background Approximately one-third of additional imaging for trauma consults results in the discovery of new injuries. No studies have addressed the perception of these findings in non-health care providers. Our hypothesis was that significant differences in perception of the importance of injuries would exist between health care providers (HCPs) and the general population. Methods Six standardized scenarios were developed detailing common new injury findings on additional imaging in trauma consults. Demographics as well as information regarding the significance of findings, potential for change in care, and the importance of patient notification were collected. Surveys were electronically distributed to HCPs in our system and the public. Data analysis was performed with generalized linear modeling. Results A total of 339 public and 129 HCP surveys were returned. HCPs included attending staff, residents, and advanced care providers from a variety of specialties. Significant differences in perception were found in traumatic brain injury, spine fractures, and rib fractures, with HCPs rating most findings as less clinically important than the general population, while rating patient notification as more important. Perceived importance decreased with increased age in the general population. Increasing HCP age or length in practice did not significantly affect perception of clinical importance, except for rib fractures. Discussion Differences in perception exist regarding the significance of additional injuries between HCPs and the general population. Perceptions of the general population also change with age. Decisions to pursue additional imaging in trauma patients should include consideration of these differences in perception to help support quality patient-centered care.

“…Liestikow recalls the days before patient safety was discussed openly, before there was even a word in Dutch for patient safety. 5 He reminds us of the central importance of involving patients in designing safer systems of care. However, he cautions that success in doing this will require changing the culture of health care so that patients can work alongside professionals as members of the team.…”

This study is conducted to explore how patient safety is being managed in public healthcare organizations. For the purpose senior doctors were interviewed and asked about patient safety measures and management in public sector hospitals. Results revealed that doctors are well aware of the concept of patient safety, they are making efforts to ensure patient safety and in particular, they take necessary steps for infection control in their organizations. It was also explored that they work in teams and have proper communication within their teams but lack of proper policies and their implementation are some of the reasons for occurrence of patient safety incidents and inconvenience, that patients face in public healthcare organizations. Based on the analysis, it can be said that systems in public healthcare organizations need improvement and revising patient safety policies is recommended.
