As the success of this and related programmes became apparent, a much wider intervention was launched led by the Michigan Health and Hospital Keystone Association for Patient Safety and Quality. 108 Michigan ICUs took part in an 18-month intervention programme aimed particularly at decreasing catheter related bloodstream infections, a common, costly and potentially lethal complication of ICU care. In the United States, 80 000 patients each year were affected, with up to 28 000 deaths in intensive care units from this cause. 

Clearly more empirical studies are needed linking patient safety culture scores to patient safety and quality outcome data Such studies should examine linkages at the hospital level and at the unit level where relationships may be stronger. The difficulty of this research is that large numbers of hospitals with both safety culture and outcome data are needed to detect these relationships.

Simulation-based education (SBE) has been introduced as an efFective method for training healthcare workers [1]. SBE can improve patient safety in healthcare facilities in different ways, particularly if used in individual skills [2]. As a result of the proven efficacy of SBE, there has been an increased number of simulation centers worldwide. These centers have various visions, purposes, and functionahties. Most of them are tailored to deliver education to particular healthcare giver categories or undergraduate trainees, with the end result being better training, reduced medical errors, and thus improved patient safety and quality of care in many medical domains.

Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) were created by the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act to improve the quality and safety of healthcare by encouraging clinicians and healthcare organizations to voluntarily report patient safety events without fear of legal discovery. PSQs offer a secure environment to identify and reduce the risks associated with patient care. As independent, external experts, PSOs collect, analyze, and aggregate patient safety data locally,... 

With the marked increase in GDP, the health human resources shortage has worsened in Taiwan over the last decade (11), as has the category of paramedical personnel in the LTCF. Although recently, immigrant HCWs have temporarily filled the need, to ensure patient safety and quality of medical care, they require regulations and standardized training programs.
