Perception of 'patient safety culture' among healthcare professionals in the field of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and CAR-T therapy: a multicentre cross-sectional observational study by Italian Transplant Group for Bone Marrow Transplantation, Haematopoietic Stem Cells and Cell Therapy (GITMO).

Adverse events associated with healthcare services in hospitalised patients represent a growing burden, generating significant costs for individuals, healthcare facilities and society. Their clinical and economic impact is particularly critical in the context of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy. A positive safety culture is widely recognised as a crucial factor in reducing hospital errors.

Escalation of care in children at high risk of clinical deterioration in a tertiary care children's hospital using the Bedside Pediatric Early Warning System.

Background: Escalation and de-escalation are a routine part of high-quality care that should be matched with clinical needs. The aim of this study was to describe escalation of care in relation to the occurrence and timing of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admission in a cohort of pediatric inpatients with acute worsening of their clinical condition.

Methods: A monocentric, observational cohort study was performed from January to December 2018.

Quality of Care: Ecological Study for the Evaluation of Completeness and Accuracy in Nursing Assessment.

Nursing documentation is an important proxy of the quality of care, and quality indicators in nursing assessment can be used to assess and improve the quality of care in health care institutions. The study aims to evaluate the completeness and the accuracy of nursing assessment, analyzing the compilation of pain assessment and nutritional status (body mass index (BMI)) in computerized nursing records, and how it is influenced by four variables: nurse to patient ratio, diagnosis related group weight (DRG), seniority of charge nurse, and type of ward (medical, surgical or other). The observational ecological pilot study was conducted between September and October 2018 in an Italian Tertiary-Level Teaching Hospital.
