Introduction: Concern for patient safety became a priority problem in emergency medicine and specifically in intensive care units (ICU) and renal units. Therefore, there are a number of circumstances that make the system even more vulnerable to error. Objective: To analyze the information available about the patient safety policy in renal units in order to suggest actions that allow strengthening the patient safety policy. Methodology: The type of study is descriptive, observational, monograph type of analysis of experiences. This method is suitable for the study because it allowed to focus the social and human perspective of the patients of the renal units. The corresponding population for this monograph was a total of 119 consulted bibliographic references, from the following databases: articles in academic Google, in Scielo, PROQUEST, and documentary materials obtained from the databases of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection. Results: the information collected allows us to appreciate that the incidence of adverse events in patients with CKD varies in different studies, as well as in the use of different methods in their treatment. The impact that adverse events have on patients, the economic burden they imply for health services and the available evidence on measures to prevent them, have warned about the importance of including patient safety on the health policy agenda. Conclusions: In the development of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, patients are exposed to adverse events generating a cost for the renal unit and the health system; It is for this need that the implementation of the patient safety policy is proposed and the patient safety policy is promulgated, through the design of an adverse event management system, adaptation of safe institutional and healthcare practices, socialization, dissemination and feedback of the patient safety policy.

Objetivo: Determinar el comportamiento del reporte de los eventos adversos en una institución prestadora de servicios de salud y su relación con las prácticas formativas de los estudiantes de enfermería de la universidad de Córdoba con el fin de recomendar acciones que contribuyan a mejorar la calidad en la prestación de servicios de salud y la formación integral del recurso humano de enfermería. Materiales y método: Investigación de tipo descriptivo, retrospectivo, con enfoque cuantitativo, la muestra estuvo constituida por una base de datos de eventos reportados durante 2016 en una institución prestadora de servicios de salud Resultados: Durante el año 2016 en una institución prestadora de servicios de salud de Montería se presenta información de reporte de eventos adversos, con reportes altos y otros más bajos. Al ser analizados estos datos y contrastados con periodos de prácticas de los estudiantes de enfermería se observó que durante y posterior a estas se aumentaron dichos reportes. Este estudio evidencia el rol que desempeña el estudiante en su práctica formativa principalmente en las administrativas donde desde la gestión del cuidado, la educación en salud y el cuidado directo se contribuye con todas estas acciones al reporte oportuno de incidentes y eventos adversos en la atención en salud, que permiten a la institución medidas de prevención y actuación en la búsqueda de una atención segura y de calidad a todos sus usuarios. También, es importante no dejar de lado las prácticas de los otros semestres, las cuales son guiadas ,supervisadas y evaluadas por docentes cualificados y capacitados en las distintas áreas, lo cual conlleva a minimizar riesgos en el cuidado que se brinda a los pacientes.

Assuming a culture of patient safety in the Institutions that Provide Health Services [IPS] influences the well-being and health of patients, in their financial situation and the quality of the service offered. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the dimensions of the patient's safety culture from the perception of the officials of the Institution Provider of the Health Services, Montería, Córdoba. This type of study was a cross-sectional descriptive research; this research studied a population that was composed by 274 officials with a probabilistic sampling where the majority were from the care area with a sample of 229 officials. The type of method that was used, it was the inductive method and as a technique for data collection, the AHRQ Patient Safety Culture Hospital Survey, which contains four dimensions: sociodemographic, safety culture in the area of user care, safety culture in the institution, the result of the perception of the culture of patient safety and reported / communicated events grouped in 17 variables and 52 statements with a Likert scale of 5 points. The information was organized according to the positive and negative responses, coded and tabulated in the Excel software, analyzed using descriptive statistics with relative frequencies. The variables with the highest positive assessment was the way in which the institution develops and improve patient safety and the analysis of errors to make positive changes, both with 93%, which correspond to dimension 2, this being a strength; However, on the variable areas of the institution are not coordinated with each other, it obtained a score of 75%, so it is considered as a weakness, due to only 5% said yes. Considering these results, the IPS in agreement with the protocols or established by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection [Minsalud] may take actions to promote and enhance the culture of patient safety.

This document demonstrates the business practice process developed at the ESE Hospital San Francisco de Ciénaga de Oro, which aimed to evaluate the Patient Safety policy in the entity. During the time in the institution a diagnostic process was carried out that allowed to know the current situation of the subject of safe care and evaluate it through the checklist of good safety practices of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, to finally outline some results that they led to the prioritization of specific health care processes according to the opportunity for improvement that they evidenced and, finally, to the approach of a respective improvement plan based on the findings presented in the diagnosis

In Colombia, patient safety is one of the five characteristics that the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MINPRO) incorporates in the Mandatory System for the Quality Assurance of Health Care (SOGCS), which seeks to reduce and eliminating the risk of suffering unnecessary harm caused by health care and / or system failures and mitigating their consequences (Ministry of Health and Social Protection [MINPRO], 2006). However, today receiving health care involves potential risks, even though millions of people are cared for safely every day. Therefore, when an IPS implements safe practices, it promotes causal analysis that allows identifying the reasons for which the adverse event, incident and / or death occurred, so that the system can be continuously improved; define measurement methods that determine and inform strategies or actions that improve the patient care system and reduce the risk of recurrence. Likewise, the damages or deaths in the patient are born as a result of medical errors, which also imply failures in the health systems. These adverse events generate the creation of standards that help minimize errors and their consequences in health systems and therefore in patients. Consequently, the different IPS must comply with good practices for patient safety, which allows minimizing failures in the security levels in the provision of the service and innovative strategies are carried out that protect the patient from avoidable risks derived from health care. For this reason, and in order to continuously verify good practices for patient safety and minimize the occurrence of adverse events, the present research work was drawn up, which has as its main objective to evaluate compliance with good practices for patient safety at the ESE Camú Santa Teresita de Lorica - Córdoba. In addition, recommendations will be made so that the ESE remains focused on continuous improvement, through the implementation of different strategies that help reduce the occurrence of adverse events and ensure the health of people, thus minimizing the risk of suffering adverse events, or mitigating its consequences. This research work comprises a cross-sectional descriptive study, with a quantitative approach to compliance with good practices for patient safety in the ESE Camu Santa Teresita - Lorica, 2020. Its scope ranges from carrying out a diagnostic process that allows knowing the situation current topic of safe care and evaluate it through a checklist of "Good practices for patient safety in health care", of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, as applicable to the complexity of the ESE Camu Santa Teresita; until results are obtained that guide the prioritization of specific health care processes according to the opportunity for improvement that they show. The results obtained show that the tasks carried out by health personnel are not focused on providing safe care to patients, the issue of the perception of the safety culture is evidenced with little encouraging results in each of the components of the safety of the patient, since the ESE complies in 87% with the guide of good practices for patient safety. In addition, the practice with the lowest compliance is to prevent pressure ulcers since it only complies in 63.6%, indicating that its quality level is poor. Therefore, senior management must focus sufficiently on the implementation and development of patient safety, providing equipment and supplies to the staff and the ESE in general, implement protocols and evidence their progress; further train healthcare personnel, and that if there is no greater control of it, it can cause a risk in health care.
