Praxis Global Alliance Unveils India’s Blueprint for Patient Safety Excellence with NABH, QCI and NATHealth
October 10, 2024, New Delhi – Praxis Global Alliance, a leading global management consulting firm, has released a new white paper, India’s Blueprint for Patient Safety Excellence, at the Arogya Bharat Summit by NATHEALTH in New Delhi. The white paper, developed in collaboration with the Quality Control Council, NABH,
and NATHEALTH, outlines India’s progress toward improving patient
safety and provides actionable strategies for addressing key challenges
within the healthcare ecosystem.
The
white paper emphasizes the importance of enhancing patient safety and
healthcare quality, essential for ensuring the well-being of individuals
in India. Key organizations like NABH, NABL, NHSRC, and CDSCO play a
crucial role in maintaining
healthcare standards. Government initiatives, such as the National
Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) and the National Action Plan for
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), are vital to improving safety across
healthcare facilities.
To
make meaningful improvements, the report recommends a comprehensive
approach that focuses on strengthening data infrastructure, workforce
development, evidence-based practices, and preventing harm.
Collaboration among government agencies, healthcare providers, and
accreditation bodies is essential for implementing effective patient
safety strategies.
Key Insights from the Report:
The maternal mortality rate in India was 103 per 100K live births (2020), far higher than in developed countries, where the rate is less than 5 per 100K live births. Similarly, the neonatal mortality rate was 19.12 per 1,000 live births in India, much higher than in developed nations?
In 2019, India recorded 297K deaths attributable to AMR, with 1M additional deaths associated with it. AMR deaths in India surpass those from cancer and diabetes, with key pathogens like Escherichia coli accounting for 153K deaths
Speaking on the launch of the report, Aryaman Tandon, Managing Partner, Healthcare at Praxis Global Alliance said “At
Praxis Global Alliance, we are committed to fostering a safer
healthcare environment in India. This report is a pivotal step in
addressing the challenges of patient safety, emphasizing collaboration
among the Quality Council of India, NABH, and NATHelath to enhance quality and accountability in healthcare. This white paper serves as a call to action for stakeholders to build a safer, more equitable healthcare system, particularly as India advances towards its goal of universal health coverage.
The
report also highlights the need for stronger communication between
healthcare providers and regulatory bodies to share best practices,
address challenges, and foster innovation. Implementing structured
communication channels and joint training programs will help strengthen
regulatory compliance and enhance patient safety outcomes.
