Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to conduct an analysis and evaluation of patient safety events from a managerial perspective, starting with an assessment of the safety climate at E.S.E Santiago de Tunja. The aim is to correlate medical practices with the incidence and prevalence of events that jeopardize patient safety during the care cycle, and to generate relevant documentation and recommendations to prevent and mitigate harm resulting from these events. To achieve this, a review of current research on the relationship between patient safety events and medical practices was conducted, and the problem, objectives, justification, scope, and limitations of the work were outlined. The theoretical framework was described, emphasizing the importance of research for the institution in terms of competitiveness and quality of healthcare services. Data was then collected and analyzed to identify the patient safety climate in the institution, as well as to analyze and cross reference variables of patient safety events reported in 2021. Based on the findings and the correlation between medical practices and patient safety events, relevant documentation was generated to prevent and mitigate harm. Finally, the pertinent conclusions of the research were presented, objectives of the thesis were met, and recommendations were made to improve the safe provision of healthcare services in the institution from a managerial perspective.
