EPSO WORKING GROUP MEETING live in RIGA (spring 2022) on EFFECTIVENESS chaired by Einar Hovlid – Norway

SUBTOPICS

Suggested sub-topics for the EPSO Effectiveness working group:

  • How do we as a supervisory organization effectively define our goals, what information and what data could be used best?
  • How do inspectorates react to the new WHO plan  Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021–2030: Towards eliminating avoidable harm in health care; 2021. Could this plan put us on the road to Effectiveness?https://www.who.int/teams/integrated-health-services/patient-safety/policy/global-patient-safety-action-plan
  • Early warning systems of  organization at risk – how to identify and prevent risks “in time”  (Indicators) in order to become effective.
  • Specific early warning signals such as ‘acting on suspicion of sepsis ’ as an early warning system for quality and safety . Can it help to improve effectiveness ?
  • Exchange of good practices and experiences between Health and Care organizations – how do countries/ inspectorates  use this  to improve quality and safety, What are the results. What is the role of the supervisory organization ( inspectorate) in promoting co-operation and information sharing?
  • Measurement of Effectiveness.  How to measure? How to know what is effective?  Is it possible to  measure Effectiveness of our inspectorate towards  ‘open’ goals such as “ improvement of good, safe and qualitative not-substandard care for all citizens”?  Or do we need to ask for compliance with detailed rules regulations and standards that are set in advance?
