Majority of doctors unaware of patient injury reporting processes in their workplace

A recent survey conducted by the Patient Insurance Centre (PVK) at the Doctor days event revealed that less than half of doctors know how patient damage notifications are processed in their workplace. When a patient suspects a treatment error, they file a notification to the Patient Insurance Centre, which handles all damage notifications impartially. Patient damage notifications can help healthcare providers examine and improve their own processes and practices. However, the survey shows that there is still room for improvement in how damage notifications are handled in healthcare units.
