Applying Library Research Skills
Healthcare organizations are facing many challenges as new technologies appear and innovative treatment methods appear. The protection of patients is significant in delivering quality health care. That is, I am employed to transcribe reports made by various health care practitioners through their voice-recorded narrations. I perform tasks that do not involve patients’ direct interaction, and despite that, any mistakes made while transcribing may lead to incorrect paperwork of medical information.
For instance, one of the patient’s discharge summaries I reviewed had the Lasix described as 400 mg instead of the correct 40 mg. Learn how important it is to produce proper documents to safeguard patients and to offer high-standard services. From that point, I started having a rather keen interest in all matters relating to the safety of the patients.

Argues that healthcare professionals, especially the MLS workforce, need to be equipped with adequate training to attain the five core competencies as outlined by the IOM in 2002. In this paper, the authors show the possible methods by which graduates would be familiar with the competencies mentioned above listed by the IOM.
According to the authors, future practitioners, when practicing MLS, will be better placed to address patients’ safety owing to the consideration of the IOM’s established aims and competencies. This article was selected to supplement the series as it provides a way of handling patient safety concerns and outlines the manner.

This paper aims to present the provision and promotion of quality healthcare and patients’ safety. In line with the literature review and proposing the allocation of more than a quarter of the board-level managers’ time to patient safety and quality, which, it is noted, leads to positive outcomes, the majority of identified works prove that the board-level managers devote significantly less time to this.
The authors also introduce the fundamental quality input-process-output (IPO) model. The authors write that there is a necessity to make specific changes in hospitals within which managers should become more engaged in handling the problems related to quality improvement.

This paper lays down essential information. The standing guards for patients work for everyone in an HCO. They talk of some instruments that can be employed for the assessment of different approaches to promoting patient safety, including the approach where the organization ensures that the management and promotion of patient safety weigh as much as any other business activity.
The rationale for selecting this article is that it provides measures that could be taken to prevent the occurrence of adverse events with regard to the safety of patients while underlining the collective responsibility of the healthcare organization to provide patients with safe care.
