Talk:Patient safety

message: This article appears to be one of the sleeper articles on Wikipedia. Ryanjo has done a really good job with this one. Since peer review is on a backlog right now, I'll post some comments here.
The article could use a more worldwide view on the subject - most of the text concerns patient safety in the U.S. and U.K. It is also quite large and some of the sections could be trimmed and new articles can be created. Some of the external links for the patient safety organizations can also be converted to wikilinks or de-linked. Some of the images could be converted to PNG and most are missing rationale or have incorrect licenses. Otherwise, I think this article is well on its way to becoming a featured article. --Jtalledo (talk) 16:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Great article--am wondering whether you'd like to add another resource to your listing at the end, namely the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (prhi.org). Founded in 1998, it's adapted Toyota Production System principles to healthcare settings in order to improve safety and quality and reduce the costs of care. It was cofounded by Paul O'Neill (please see his Wikipedia article) and Karen Wolk Feinstein, president of the Jewish Healthcare Foundation. It's a regional effort but has received national recognition from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research... as well as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other large health systems in the United States. Hope this is helpful. Renuzaretsky 18:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Toerrishuman.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Toerrishuman.gif

message: The recent addition of medical ethics in the "initiatives in patient safety" section is neither detailed enough to explain how medical ethics is being applied to solve patient safety issues, nor is it referenced. I have removed this edit until some more information & references are added. The article needs to provide specific information about applying medical ethics to patient safety, rather than general or self-evident statements.  Ryanjo (talk) 19:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Medical ethics 

message: I have also removed the recently added section "Hospital Accreditation". It provides no references supporting the place of accrediting agencies as a patient safety initiative. In fact, there is evidence to the contrary  . Essentially, since Wikipedia is a reference work, statements in this Patient safety article should be supported by references specific to patient safety. Also, the sentence "Such accreditation can be sourced from the USA, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada." is unclear. Ryanjo (talk) 21:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hospital accreditation 

message: Hello again...I'm in the process of looking at the technology section of the patient safety page and the new page that I created called Health information technology (HIT).  For some reason, people are not using the new umbrella term.  This might further consolidate the patient safety page with the pertinent must know safety points by shifting the background to the other area.  The pages might be more systematic and hierarchical in structure –like an encyclopedia on steroids.   Your thoughts? P.A.P. (talk) 03:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Health Information Technology 

message: Hi. I'm beginning to work on some pages once again. The patient safety page looks fairly good but there is so much to be included in this one topic.  The healthcare error area is one example.  I've recently written another review paper so I will shift the healthcare error content from the PS page to the healthcare error page -leaving one concise paragraph about healthcare error on the PS page.  My students tell me the large pages with a paragraph and then a link to additional knowledge are easier to navigate.  I've already shifted the content but will work on the new page before condensing the PS page.  Take care PatientSafetyGuru (talk) 06:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Healthcare error 

message: I moved the recent edits, adding the WHO organizations, to the companion article Patient safety organization. I also reduced the text on PfPS, since it was merely a copy of the linked WHO web page's description. I added a link to the WHO organizations below in the Organizations advocating patient safety subsection.
The section Initiatives in patient safety is meant to encompass broad trends, rather than individual organizations. The Patient safety organization article was broken out of this main article when several editors recognized that this article was becoming too large, and an article focused on organizations could stand on its own.
The WHO patient safety logo may pose a problem meeting Wikipedia's increasingly strict criteria for free images. The WHO website only allows unrestricted licensing for "research, private study or in a noncommercial document with limited circulation", and requires an application for other uses. This application needs to be done and approval posted promptly, or almost certainly a roving 'bot will mark the logo image for speedy deletion.

thread_title:  A topic of .... 

message: One of the most common causes of error, confusing patients with each other, and the probably most important device used until now to ensure patient safety, wristbands, are not even mentioned in the article. I also wasn't able to find mention of the common error of operating on the wrong side or wrong member of a patient. --Espoo (talk) 23:02, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  missing important issues 

message: The edits you have made are good based on the good article criteria. The information was neutral, verifiable, well written, stable and covered the topic appropriately. I really like the picture that was used and how it illustrates non-verbal communication. To improve this edit I think some sentences could be reworded, as some of them were a little hard to follow. For example the sentence,  “Some channels are more likely to result in communication errors than others, such as communicating through telephone or email (missing nonverbal messages which are an important element of understanding the situation)” is confusing to read. A possible change could be, “Communication channels such as the telephone or email are more likely to result in communication errors. This is because they are missing nonverbal messages, which are important to understand the context of the situation.” A little rewording will improve the flow of the paragraph a lot. The content of the article edit is great and very informative, but I noticed that only one source was used. I think the information would be more credible if a variety of sources was used, rather than just one. Finally, I liked how the section was organized and how the topic was introduced and explained in an order that was easy to follow. Other than some sentence restructuring and additional sources, I think this Wikipedia edit was well done. Good job everyone! Mh14wc (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

=== Professor comments to student editors ===
, I want to add my congratulations to you on your contribution to this article. You've clearly learned a lot about how communication impacts patient safety, you've been succinct in your summaries, and you're responding to feedback. You have a few recommendations from fellow editors about how to further improve the article. I hope you'll take them up on their suggestions. It would be a good idea to make a summary of changes you weren't able to respond to (so you can come back after the course is over or so other editors can act on the recommendations). Our reviews are lengthy and a lot for editors who are new to the page to wade through.LynnMcCleary (talk) 22:53, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

text: I would like to thank everyone for their feedback on our additions to this article! Based on the feedback we have received our edits have been oriented to improving the tone of our article (less 'giving advice' and more factual information), and adding an image for the overall appeal. I am proud of the collaborative effort our group has put in, as well as appreciative of the help we have gotten from our classmates, professor and fellow wikipedians. For anyone who is wondering, the image I have uploaded is free public domain, so hopefully it will remain posted on the Patient Safety article. The image displays a nurse using non-verbal communication to a client through facial expressions. Final changes to our communication section will be posted by tomorrow, and if you have any further suggestions please feel free to let us know!
