HKEC implemented various initiatives to sustain a robust quality and
safety system. Project to upgrade aseptic dispensing facilities was
launched to improve drug safety, modern sterilisation methods for
rigid endoscopes, surgical implants and surgical instruments were
implemented, and less high risk drugs were used in wards of RH.
TWEH enhanced supervision to sustain effectiveness of the pilot
cardiac programme and reduced readmission. Besides renovating
PYNEH A&E Department to enhance patient privacy, the hospital
also upgraded personal protective equipment and radiation
monitoring equipment to support the Daya Bay contingency plan.
Periodic review for hospital accreditation of PYNEH was successfully
held in June 2012. The Nethersole Clinical Simulation Training
Center was set up at PYNEH in December 2012 to improve clinicians’
competence and team communication in order to enhance patient
safety through simulation-based training. The Cluster ended the
financial year 2012-13 with a Quality and Safety month in March
2013, with a total of 19 programmes, seminars, forums and drills
conducted.
The patient empowerment programme delivered in collaboration
with non-government organisations benefited and engaged over
6,000 patients with chronic diseases, carers and community partners.
HKEC practised strategic demand management with prudent
expansion of capacity in a strong patient safety culture to
maintain financial sustainability. Resources were deployed to key
enablers of corporate priority, namely the roll-out of Enterprise
Resource Planning System to modernise pharmacy supply chain,
enhancement of non-emergency ambulance transfer service,
renovation and enhancement of service of psychiatric admission
wards, and strengthened hospital security service.
