Safe care.
Safe care is fundamental to high-quality health care, in which the
treatments used lead to the expected results, without causing risks
or injuries to patients.
Safe care.
In order to prevent health care leading to adverse events, care
providers must have a well-developed management system for quality
and patient safety, and must actively carry out risk prevention
work. This includes continuous work on setting objectives,
following up, analysing and providing feedback of the results to
all levels within the organisation.
Patient safety.
Patient safety is a fundamental principle of health care.
Every point in the process of care-giving contains a certain degree of inherent unsafety.
Adverse events may result from problems in practice, products,
procedures or systems.
Patient safety.
Patient safety improvements demand a complex system-wide effort,
involving a wide range of actions in performance improvement,
environmental safety and risk management, including infection
control, safe use of medicines, equipment safety, safe clinical
practice and safe environment of care.
Patient safety.
In Latvia at present are several laws and regulations, related to
ensuring patients safety, effective in the country.
Patients Rights Law.
The aim of this law is to facilitate favourable relationship
between a patient and provider of health care services, promoting
active participation of patients in their health care as well as
providing them with an opportunity to implement and protect their
rights and interests.
Medical Treatment Law.
The aim of this law is to regulate the public relations in medical
treatment, in order to ensure qualified precautions and diagnostics
of illnesses or trauma as well as qualitative treatment and
rehabilitation of a patient.
Epidemiological Safety Law.
The aim of this law is to regulate the epidemiological safety and
to establish the rights and obligations of the public institutions,
the municipalities, and physical and legal entities in the field of
epidemiological safety as well as to lay down the responsibility
for the violation of this law.
Personal Data Protection Law.
The purpose of this Law is to protect the fundamental human rights
and freedoms of people, and in particular their right to privacy
with respect to the processing of personal data.
