Peer Review

“The combination of bone pain, renal
failure and hypercalcaemia in a
young patient points either to a
diagnosis of primary
hyperparathroidism or metastatic
malignancy and these ominious
results should have been
investigated as a matter of urgency”.
                                        “All the evidence indicates that the
 “Kevin would have had surgery to
                                        patient was suffering from a solitary
 remove the over-active parathyroid
                                        parathyroid adenoma at the time,
 gland. He would have been cured
                                        removal would have been curative with
 and would still have been alive
                                        a normal life expectancy”
 today.”
      Research 96% Success; 1% Complication Rates

The Post-It
Every Point of Contact
Failed Him…

•   Expectations of a Tertiary Training Hospital
Responses

•Initially honest & humane
          --------------------
•Defensiveness
•‘Loyalty to colleagues’
•Muddying the waters
•Dissembling
•Unsustainable excuses
          ---------------------
•Confidence in any hope of
ascertaining truth shattered
•Expectation of professional and
honourable conduct betrayed
Legal Route to Finding
             Answers

•   System favours defendants
•   Disempowerment of plaintiff

Court Ruling


“It is very clear to me that Kevin

 Murphy should not have died.”

 Judge Roderick Murphy at High Court Ruling
         Dublin, Ireland, May 2004
A Wish List : Do it Right!

• Observe existing guidelines, best practice and SOP’s. Be
  prepared to challenge each other in that regard
• Following adverse outcomes undertake “root cause analysis”
  quot;system failure analysisquot;/quot;critical incident investigation”.
• Communicate effectively within the medical community and
  with patients
• Keep impeccable records
• Listen to patients and families
• Respect patients and families
                    ACKNOWLEDGE ERROR
              AND ALLOW LEARNING TO OCCUR
A Wish List …..Continued

• Know your personal limitations
• Replicate what is good and be always vigilant for
  opportunities to improve.
• Learn and disseminate that learning
• Practice dialogue and collaboration – meaningful
  engagement with patients and families
• Create a coalition of healthcare professionals and patients


                   ACKNOWLEDGE ERROR
              AND ALLOW LEARNING TO OCCUR
4 Most Dangerous Words


       It
    Couldn’t
    Happen
     Here
Barriers to Progress

Inappropriate responses and their role in relation to
fuelling confrontation?
Inaccessibility of partnership and collaborative
opportunities to ordinary patients and families
The culture of medical practice that has isolated
physicians and forced them to live out of a perception
of infallibility and faultless performance
Fears relating to litigation and loss of reputation.
Excluding the patient and family from the change
process.
Neglecting to learn from industry
A Better Way


       Sir Liam Donaldson
A humane and life-giving encounter
Patients & Families
                     – the Untapped Resource -
                  Why Patients for Patient Safety?

The perspective and partnership of patients, their
  families and health consumers all over the world…
  is central to the patient safety work of WHO
  is crucial to articulating the reality and identifying the
  gaps between the possible patient safety
  improvements and actual improvements as
  experienced by patients.
  is necessary to ensure services are driven by patient
  need and are authentically patient-centred
  Is a useful validation tool in relation to the
  implementation of guidelines, processes and
  protocols.
  The need for the patient voice in the global arena of
  healthcare
Formational Workshops
Champion Activities

 different aspects of patient safety, speaking at conferences and to
 medical students
 Connecting with our country offices of WHO
 Establishing our own patient safety organizations.
 Writing in local or national publications and journals
 Networking.
 Patient safety commissions, task forces, committees addressing
 Fundraising
 Dedicated projects

In addition to supporting patient champions P4PS is also focusing on:
  (i) advancing patient involvement/engagement as a patient safety
      solution
 (ii) arriving at an understanding of what patients and families want in
      relation to disclosure and learning from adverse events
Impact on and by Champions

“The Workshop united all efforts
of patients from different
regions of Ukraine. Now I can
see that I am not alone in my
desire to change the system. I
am not alone in my grief also.
There are some people that
have passion to do something
                                   Ukrainian Champions
good in this domain.
                                    Barbara
That Kiev workshop gave me          Farlow
more strength and more
belief that we can do                       Ed
                                          Mendoza
something.”
             - F. Petkanych           Canadian Champions

  • 9. You ignore at your peril the concerns of a mother
  • 10. Peer Review “The combination of bone pain, renal failure and hypercalcaemia in a young patient points either to a diagnosis of primary hyperparathroidism or metastatic malignancy and these ominious results should have been investigated as a matter of urgency”. “All the evidence indicates that the “Kevin would have had surgery to patient was suffering from a solitary remove the over-active parathyroid parathyroid adenoma at the time, gland. He would have been cured removal would have been curative with and would still have been alive a normal life expectancy” today.” Research 96% Success; 1% Complication Rates

Be prepared to challenge each other in that regard • Following adverse outcomes undertake “root cause analysis” quot;system failure analysisquot;/quot;critical incident investigation”. • Communicate effectively within the medical community and with patients • Keep impeccable records • Listen to patients and families • Respect patients and families ACKNOWLEDGE ERROR AND ALLOW LEARNING TO OCCUR
  • 20. A Wish List …..Continued • Know your personal limitations • Replicate what is good and be always vigilant for opportunities to improve. • Learn and disseminate that learning • Practice dialogue and collaboration – meaningful engagement with patients and families • Create a coalition of healthcare professionals and patients ACKNOWLEDGE ERROR AND ALLOW LEARNING TO OCCUR
  • 21. 4 Most Dangerous Words It Couldn’t Happen Here
  • 22. Barriers to Progress Inappropriate responses and their role in relation to fuelling confrontation? Inaccessibility of partnership and collaborative opportunities to ordinary patients and families The culture of medical practice that has isolated physicians and forced them to live out of a perception of infallibility and faultless performance Fears relating to litigation and loss of reputation. Excluding the patient and family from the change process. Neglecting to learn from industry
