Patient safety reporting and learning system of Catalonia (SNiSP Cat): a health policy initiative to enhance culture, leadership and professional engagement.

Unlabelled: Patient safety reporting and learning systems (PSRLS) are tools to promote patient safety culture in healthcare organisations (HCO). Many PRSLS are locally developed. WHO Global Action Plan on Patient Safety 2021-2030 urges governments to deploy policies for healthcare risk management including PSRLS.

Patient Safety Incidents in Primary Care: Comparing APEAS-2007 (Spanish Patient Safety Adverse Events Study in Primary Care) with Data from a Health Area in Catalonia (Spain) in 2019.

The initial APEAS study, conducted in June 2007, examined adverse events (AEs) in Spanish Primary Healthcare (PHC). Since then, significant changes have occurred in healthcare systems. To evaluate these changes, a study was conducted in the Camp de Tarragona PHC region (CTPHC) in June 2019.

Evaluation of SINERGIAPS, an intervention to improve patient safety in primary healthcare centers in Spain based on patients' perceptions and experiences: a protocol for a hybrid type I randomized clinical trial.

Background: Adverse events in the primary care setting result in a direct cost equivalent to at least 2.5% of total healthcare spending. Across OECD countries, they lead to more than seven million avoidable hospital admissions annually.

Evaluation of the psychometric performance of the Spanish and Catalan versions of the patient reported experiences and Outcomes of Safety in Primary Care (PREOS-PC)-Compact questionnaire.

Background: Patients provide a unique, irreplaceable, and essential perspective in evaluating patient safety. The suite of Patient Reported Experiences and Outcomes of Safety in Primary Care (PREOS-PC) tools are a notable exception to the scarcity of patient-reported patient safety measures. Full evaluation of their performance has only been attempted for the English version, thereby limiting its international applicability.

[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient-reported patient safety in Primary Care].

Objective: To evaluate the impact of the changes introduced in response to the pandemic on patient-reported patient safety in Primary Care.

Design: Prospective observational panel study (health center) based on two cross-sectional surveys.

Setting: 29 Primary Health Care centers from three Spanish health regions (Mallorca, Catalunya Central and Camp de Tarragona).

[Patient safety incidents reported before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Primary Care in Tarragona].

Objective: To analyse and compare the epidemiology of patient safety incidents reported in Primary Health Care, before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design And Setting: Analytical descriptive study comparing reported incidents from March 1st 2019 to February 28th 2020, and from March 1st 2020 to February 28th 2021, notified through the TPSC Cloud™ platform accessible from the Intranet corporative in 25 Primary Health Care centres from Tarragona district, in Catalonia (Spain).

Measurements: Data obtained from voluntary notifications, through electronic, standardized and anonymized forms.

Analysis of Patient Safety Incidents in Primary Care Reported in an Electronic Registry Application.

Objectives: (1) To describe the epidemiology of patient safety (PS) incidents registered in an electronic notification system in primary care (PC) health centres; (2) to define a risk map; and (3) to identify the critical areas where intervention is needed.

Design: Descriptive analytical study of incidents reported from 1 January to 31 December 2018, on the TPSC Cloud™ platform (The Patient Safety Company) accessible from the corporate website (Intranet) of the regional public health service.

Setting: 24 Catalan Institute of Health PC health centres of the Tarragona region (Spain).

Effectiveness of New Tools to Define an Up-to-Date Patient Safety Risk Map: A Primary Care Study Protocol.

Background: Reducing incidents related to health care interventions to improve patient safety is a health policy priority. To strengthen a culture of safety, reporting incidents is essential. This study aims to define a patient safety risk map using the description and analysis of incidents within a primary care region with a prior patient safety improvement strategy organisationally developed and promoted.

[Benign prostate hyperplasia. Need to evaluate quality of life in the therapeutic process].

Objective: To relate the symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) to their repercussions on quality of life.

Design: Multi-centred, observational, prospective study.

Setting: Primary care.
