Considering why Integrated Care Systems should prioritise safety, the report highlights the following key points:
- Reducing the unintentional harm caused by healthcare is a fundamental priority.
- Prioritising safety enables a more engaged workforce.
- Reducing the risk of harm is a pre-requisite for high performing, productive and financially sustainable health services.
- Quality healthcare cannot be delivered without consideration of safety.
- Improving safety is linked to reducing healthcare inequalities.
The report focuses on seven areas where action is required for Integrated Care Boards to deliver effective system safety:
- Culture
- Leadership
- Systematic Management
- Model of Care
- Lived Experience
- Health Inequalities
- Innovation
