In the frame of the campaign for the Declaration for Patient Safety, Health First Europe collaborated with the Centre for Clinical Risk Management and Patient Safety of the Tuscan Region to publish an article on best practices on safety and quality of care at regional level.
Tuscany, the fifth largest region of Italy, is strongly committed to foster patient safety. One of the cornerstones of health policies for the safety and quality of care in Tuscany is the promotion of practices for patient safety: a series of technical and informative sheets related to care practices essential to prevent the risks of adverse events. Those safety practices are shaped together with health professionals and they identify the essential elements at operational and management level for an adequate application of preventive solutions.
