| Research Abstract |
The present study built a safety management approach particularly from the following two aspects, aiming at mitigating accident risk in healthcare : (1) fostering a positive safety culture within an organization and (2) introducing patient views to risk management. Firstly, we yielded important characteristics on healthcare safety culture in Japan as well as developed risk management techniques and tools based on its measurement and diagnosis. Secondly, as an introductory study of patient centered risk management, we uncovered patient wishes, views and perceptions to healthcare organization and staff when they had been victims of adverse events. Based on the results obtained throughout this project, we provided several suggestions for improving patient safety in Japan.
