SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Do safety briefings improve patient safety in the acute hospital setting? A systematic review.
Journal of Advanced Nursing 2019 October
AIMS: To synthesize current knowledge about the impact of safety briefings as an intervention to improve patient safety.
BACKGROUND: Improving safety in health care remains an ongoing challenge. There is a lack of evidence underpinning safety enhancing interventions.
DESIGN: Mixed method multi-level synthesis.
DATA SOURCES: Four health literature databases were searched (Cinahl, Medline, Scopus and Health Business Elite) from January 2002 - March 2017.
REVIEW METHODS: Thomas and Harden approach to mixed method synthesis.
RESULTS: Following quality appraisal, 12 studies were included. There was significant heterogeneity in study aims, measures, and outcomes. Findings showed that safety briefings achieved beneficial outcomes and can improve safety culture. Outcomes included improved risk identification, reduced falls, enhanced relationships, increased incident reporting, ability to voice concerns, and reduced length of stay.
CONCLUSION: Healthcare leaders should embrace the potential of safety briefings by promoting their effective use whilst allowing for local adaptation.
