Summary
This mixed-methods study in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare examined how health staff in Indonesian hospitals perceived open disclosure of patient safety incidents (PSIs). The authors surveyed 262 health workers and interviewed 12 health workers. In the quantitative phase they found a good level of open disclosure practice, a positive attitude toward open disclosure and good disclosure according to the level of harm. However, in the qualitative phase they found that most participants were confused about the difference between incident reporting and incident disclosure.
The authors concluded that a robust open disclosure system in hospitals could address several issues such as lack of knowledge, lack of policy support, lack of training and lack of policy. They also suggest that the government should develop supportive policies at the national level and organise initiatives at the hospital level in order to limit the negative implications of disclosing situations.
