The scope of patient safety applies to all national programmes and envisages collaboration of wide range of national international stakeholders both within and outside health sector. NPSIF applies to national and sub-national levels as well as to public and private sectors.

Objectives:

  • Strategic Objective 1: To improve structural systems to support quality and efficiency of healthcare and place patient safety at the core at national, subnational and healthcare facility levels.
  • Strategic Objective 2: To assess the nature and scale of adverse events in healthcare and establish a system of reporting and learning.
  • Strategic Objective 3: To ensure a competent and capable workforce that is aware and sensitive to patient safety.
  • Strategic Objective 4: To prevent and control health-care associated infections.
  • Strategic Objective 5: To implement global patient safety campaigns and strengthening Patient Safety across all programmes.
  • Strategic Objective 6: To strengthen capacity for and promote patient safety research.

Although inadequate resources are likely a substantial challenge to the improvement of patient safety in India, other patient safety barriers such as health systems changes, training, and education, could be addressed with fewer resources. While initial approaches to improving patient safety in India and other low- and middle-income countries have focused on implementing processes that represent best practices, this study suggests that multifaceted interventions to also address more structural problems (such as resource constraints, systems issues, and medical culture) may be important.
