Chosun University Hospital recently announced on the 16th that it conducted communication-focused “Leadership Safety Rounding” to establish a patient safety culture.

Organized by the Medical Quality Management Office of Chosun University Hospital, this safety rounding involved hospital leaders, including Hospital Director Kim Jin-ho, and staff members inspecting wards, the disaster prevention center, and the medical gas room to check for measures to prevent patient safety accidents.

The purpose of Leadership Safety Rounding is to spread and establish a patient safety culture by facilitating communication between hospital management and frontline staff about patient safety, identifying previously unrecognized patient safety risks, and sharing opinions for improvement.

During the safety rounding, they checked for unnoticed risk factors in areas such as ▲fall risk management of facilities ▲facility safety management ▲fire safety management ▲medical device safety management, and held discussions to address difficulties and improvement plans, providing time for communication.

Hospital Director Kim Jin-ho emphasized, “Safety inspections of facilities and medical devices are very important to prevent safety accidents that could lead to serious risks at any time, and special attention is needed to ensure situations threatening patient safety do not occur.” He added, “We will continue to create a safe medical environment centered on patients and prioritizing their safety through Leadership Safety Rounding.”
