RESUMO
La seguridad del paciente ha sido definida, en sentido estricto, como la ausencia de accidentes, lesiones o complicaciones evitables, producidoscomo consecuencia de la atención a la salud recibida. Se considera una prioridad en la asistencia sanitaria, actividad cada vezmás compleja, que entraña riesgos potenciales y en la que no existe un sistema capaz de garantizar la ausencia de efectos adversos, yaque se trata de una actividad en la que convergen factores inherentes al sistema con actuaciones humanas.A nivel político es una estrategia prioritaria del Sistema Nacional de Salud de España desarrollada en coordinación con la Alianza Mundialpara la Seguridad del Paciente de la OMS.Las estimaciones sobre los riesgos asistenciales realizadas en el informe del «To Err is Human», en el que se afirma que entre 44.000 y98.000 norteamericanos fallecían anualmente debido a fallos y errores cometidos en el sistema sanitario de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica,fueron el punto de partida de cambios importantes a nivel nacional e internacional para mejorar la seguridad del paciente yreducir los riesgos asistenciales, dado que dicha cifra era superior a la que ocasionaban problemas de tumores de mama, accidentes detráfico o infección por el VIH (AU)
The patients safety has been defined, strictly speaking, as the absence of accidents, injuries or avoidable complications, produced as consequenceof the attention to the received health. It is considered a priority in health assistance, every time a more complex activity, whichentails potential risks and in which there is not a system capable of guaranteeing the absence of adverse effects, since it is an activity inwhich inherent factors of the system with human performances converge.At a political level, it is a very important strategy of the National System of Health of Spain developed in coordination with theWorldAlliance for the Safety of the Patient of theWHO.The estimations on the assisting risks carried out in the report of the «To Err is Human», in which it is stated, that between 44.000 and98.000 North American people died annually due to failures and errors committed in the sanitary system of the United States of NorthAmerica, were the preliminary point of important changes at national and international level to improve the safety of the patient and toreduce the assisting risks, since this number was superior to the one that caused problems of breast tumors, traffic accidents or HIV infection (AU)
