Preventing And Responding To Patient Harm
Hospitals should have a never events policy that includes all nine actions that should occur following a never event, which includes apologizing to the patient and not charging for costs associated with the never event.
| Hospitals Progress | |
|---|---|
| Specially Trained Doctors Care for Critical Care Patients |
Hospitals should have intensivists present on-site at least eight hours a day, seven days per week or have intensivists present via 24/7 telemedicine with some on-site intensivist presence. When not in the ICU, the intensivist immediately responds to calls and has another physician or trained clinician who can immediately reach the patient. |
