Medication and Patient Safety

Mitigate Risks and Foster a Culture of Safety in Healthcare

As healthcare clinicians, we are bound by the oath to do no harm, striving to prevent patient harm from medication errors by incorporating safety culture and systems thinking, along with high-reliability principles. When you work with Atomic Healthcare Solutions, we’ll help you identify and encourage behaviors aligned with a just culture and high-reliability organization, fostering a culture of safety and accountability to promote patient well-being.

Is Your Organization Dealing With:

Medication Errors

From  wrong  prescription  orders  to dispensation  or  medication administration  errors,  these  events can lead  to  serious  patient  harm.

Inadequate Technology Utilization

Outdated or underutilized technology can hinder effective communication and medication management.

Fragmented Safety Culture

A lack of clear communication, inadequate training, and insufficient resources can create a culture where safety concerns go unaddressed.

Atomic Healthcare Solutions is your partner in ensuring your healthcare organization navigates challenges effectively while prioritizing patient well-being and organizational resilience.

Comprehensive Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

Technology Optimization

Leverage technology solutions to improve safety in healthcare, protect your organization from cyberattacks, and enhance overall patient care. Our technology optimization approach integrates cutting-edge solutions tailored to the unique needs of your healthcare environment. From advanced medication tracking systems to automated safety protocols, we ensure your organization stays at the forefront of patient safety through innovative technology implementations.

Process Reviews

Identify potential vulnerabilities in your existing processes and implement evidence-based strategies to mitigate risks. Our process reviews involve a thorough examination of your current workflows, pinpointing areas where safety measures can be enhanced. We help healthcare organizations standardize medication management processes, protocols, and best practices to promote consistency and reduce variability in practice. This may include standardizing medication ordering formats, dosage calculation methods, medication labeling, and medication barcode medication administration procedures to minimize the risk of errors and improve your Medication Error Reduction Plans (MERPs).

Safety Culture Assessment

Our culture assessment approach goes beyond procedural aspects, delving into the mindset and values that shape your organization.

High-reliability organizations (HROs) maintain exceptional safety and reliability in high-risk industries through rigorous training, effective communication, and a culture of continuous improvement. Promoting a just culture in your company creates fairness and accountability by encouraging error reporting without fear of reprisal or individual blame. We also help you establish a safety culture that prioritizes safety as a core value, promoting open communication, proactive hazard identification, and continuous improvement.

By utilizing various safety culture assessment tools for your patient and organization, we help foster an environment where all team members actively contribute to maintaining a secure and patient-focused healthcare setting.
