Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to figure out the current state of patient safety research in Korea and to evaluate whether the research fund support project for patient safety research is proceeding in priority order.
Methods: Through the literature search, a list of research projects in the field of patient safety in Korea were collected as of January 6, 2017. Four researchers independently evaluated the subject using the priority list of patient safety research derived from the previous study.
Results: As of January 2017, a total of 21 research projects were conducted in the Korea Health Industry Development Institute and 42 research studies were conducted in the National Science & Technology Information. The results of the priority evaluation showed that there were no researches that ranked first and second priority. Many of the research topics were ‘Adverse drug events/drug errors,’ ‘Health information technology/information systems,’ and ‘Less relevance.’
Conclusion: Patient safety research projects are not only diverse but also quantitative in Korea. Support for research topics that need to be prioritized is needed, such as developing safety indicators and measuring patient safelty levels, improving communication, and improving patient safety incident reporting systems.
