Keeping patients safe: Guidelines for healthcare institutions


Participants at the Overcoming Challenges to Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Strategies workshop held at Sime Darby Convention Centre on Feb 15-16. 2014, listening to Association of Private Hospitals of Malaysia CEO Dr T. Mshadevan speak on the quality improvement and patient safety movement in Malaysia during the first day of the workshop.

We assume that healthcare institutions have their patients’ best interests at heart; here are some of the guidelines and laws that back that assumption up.

MOST of us would probably have heard the stories of emergency patients being turned away from private hospitals because of their critical conditions or lack of financial guarantees, or the overflowing wards in public hospitals leading to patients having to sleep in camp beds along aisles or corridors.
