It begins by exploring a number of fundamental imbalances that characterise the current half-reformed system of healthcare provision before going on to assess the government’s plans for going ahead with healthcare reform over the medium term. The challenges it faces include strengthening primary care provision and reducing the current over-reliance on tertiary care; restructuring the incentives facing healthcare providers; and completing the reform of the system of mandatory medical insurance. This paper relates to the OECD Economic Survey of the Russian Federation 2006 (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/russia).

  • Five Keys to Safer Food Manual
    FIVE KEYS TO SAFER FOOD MANUAL DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SAFETY, ZOONOSES AND FOODBORNE DISEASES FIVE KEYS TO SAFER FOOD MANUAL DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SAFETY, ZOONOSES AND FOODBORNE DISEASES INTRODUCTION Food safety is a significant public health issue nsafe food has been a human health problem since history was first recorded, and many food safety Uproblems encountered today are not new. Although governments all over the world are doing their best to improve the safety of the food supply, the occurrence of foodborne disease remains a significant health issue in both developed and developing countries. It has been estimated that each year 1.8 million people die as a result of diarrhoeal diseases and most of these cases can be attributed to contaminated food or water. Proper food preparation can prevent most foodborne diseases. More than 200 known diseases are transmitted through food.1 The World Health Organization (WHO) has long been aware of the need to educate food handlers about their responsibilities for food safety. In the early 1990s, WHO developed the Ten Golden Rules for Safe Food Preparation, which were widely translated and reproduced. However, it became obvious that something simpler and more generally applicable was needed. After nearly a year of consultation with food safety expertsandriskcommunicators, WHOintroducedtheFive KeystoSaferFoodposterin2001.TheFive Keys toSaferFoodposterincorporatesallthemessagesoftheTen Golden Rules for Safe Food Preparation under simpler headings that are more easily remembered and also provides more details on the reasoning behind the suggested measures. The Five Keys to Safer Food Poster The core messages of the Five Keys to Safer Food are: (1) keep clean; (2) separate raw and cooked; (3) cook thoroughly; (4) keep food at safe temperatures; and (5) use safe water and raw materials.

    Guide to Developing the Safety Risk Management Component of a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan Overview The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) regulation (49 C.F.R. Part 673) requires certain operators of public transportation systems that are recipients or subrecipients of FTA grant funds to develop Agency Safety Plans (ASP) including the processes and procedures necessary for implementing Safety Management Systems (SMS). Safety Risk Management (SRM) is one of the four SMS components. Each eligible transit operator must have an approved ASP meeting the regulation requirements by July 20, 2020.

  • What Exactly Is Patient Safety?
    What Exactly Is Patient Safety? Linda Emanuel, MD, PhD; Don Berwick, MD, MPP; James Conway, MS; John Combes, MD; Martin Hatlie, JD; Lucian Leape, MD; James Reason, PhD; Paul Schyve, MD; Charles Vincent, MPhil, PhD; Merrilyn Walton, PhD Abstract We articulate an intellectual history and a definition, description, and model of patient safety. We define patient safety as a discipline in the health care professions that applies safety science methods toward the goal of achieving a trustworthy system of health care delivery. We also define patient safety as an attribute of health care systems that minimizes the incidence and impact of adverse events and maximizes recovery from such events. Our description includes: why the field of patient safety exists (the high prevalence of avoidable adverse events); its nature; its essential focus of action (the microsystem); how patient safety works (e.g., high- reliability design, use of safety sciences, methods for causing change, including cultural change); and who its practitioners are (i.e., all health care workers, patients, and advocates). Our simple and overarching model identifies four domains of patient safety (recipients of care, providers, therapeutics, and methods) and the elements that fall within the domains. Eleven of these elements are described in this paper. Introduction A defining realization of the 1990s was that, despite all the known power of modern medicine to cure and ameliorate illness, hospitals were not safe places for healing. Instead, they were places fraught with risk of patient harm. One important response to this realization has been the growth of interest in patient safety. It is increasingly clear that patient safety has become a discipline, complete with an integrated body of knowledge and expertise, and that it has the potential to revolutionize health care, perhaps as radically as molecular biology once dramatically increased the therapeutic power in medicine.

  • Safety and Health Injury Prevention Sheets (SHIPS)
    Occupational Safety and Health Administration S AFETY and H EALTH I NJURY P REVENTION S HEETS Working with the Shipyard Industry Occupational Safety and Health Shipbuilding,Ship Repair Administration and Ship Breaking Introduction : Working with the ShipyardShipyard IndustrIndustryy Shipyards operating in the United States often do not have the benefit of full-time, on-board safety and health specialists. Although help is available from workers’ compensation loss control consultants, or state consultation services, their consultants are not always familiar with the unique aspects and hazards of shipyard operations. To meet this need and help prevent injuries, the shipyard community and OSHA have jointly developed Safety and Health Injury Prevention Sheets (SHIPS). Representatives of large and small shipyards around the country assisted OSHA in identifying the most frequent hazards and injuries in shipbuilding and ship repair work. Designed for both employers and workers, SHIPS presents information on hazard awareness and controls in a user-friendly format. Pictures from actual shipyards depict hazards and recommended solutions. The time-tested solutions presented are those the shipyard community has found to be most effective in reducing or eliminating shipyard injuries. The goal of SHIPS is to reduce or eliminate unsafe work practices by increasing employer and worker awareness of safety and health hazards. The first SHIPS presented is Hot Work-Welding, Cutting and Brazing. Some of the material may need to be adapted to different size shipyards and different local conditions. We hope that you will find the information helpful in setting up a plan to make your shipyard a safer and more healthful place to work.

  • Guidelines for Employers to Reduce Motor Vehicle Crashes
    Guidelines for Employers to Reduce Motor Vehicle Crashes This document represents a joint effort by NETS, NHTSA and OSHA to reduce motor vehicle-related deaths and injuries in the nation’s workforce. This [white paper] was funded under [Purchase Order Number B-9-4-2- 3576] for the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the official position or policy of the U.S. Department of Labor. This document is not a standard or regulation, and it creates no new legal obligations. Likewise, it cannot and does not diminish any obligations established by Federal or state statute, rule, or standard. The document is advisory in nature, informational in content, and is intended to assist employers in providing a safe and healthful workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires employers to comply with hazard-specific safety and health standards. In addition, pursuant to Section 5(a)(1), the General Duty Clause of the Act, employers must provide their employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm. Employers can be cited for violating the General Duty Clause if there is a recognized hazard and they do not take reason- able steps to prevent or abate the hazard. Every 12 minutes someone dies in a motor vehicle crash, every 10 seconds an injury occurs and every 5 seconds a crash occurs. Many of these incidents occur during the workday or during the commute to and from work. Employers bear the cost for injuries that occur both on and off the job.
