Effective quality improvement is a key factor in optimizing the care of hospitalized patients. Unfortunately, the US health care system has a poor safety record when compared to other major industries. For example, at 250 000 per year, medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. Safety barrier management, a widely used methodology in high-risk industries such as commercial airline transportation and oil drilling, has not been widely used in traditional quality improvement efforts in health care, which rely more on standard lean Six Sigma quality approaches. The authors describe a quality improvement project that uses safety barrier analysis to help inform solutions to improve venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in hospitalized patients. This study found that safety barrier analysis helped inform solutions to improve venous thromboembolism prophylaxis at the study institution and can be a useful adjunct to standard lean Six Sigma methodologies for quality improvement in health care. |
