Critical issues and proposals
During the meeting, crucial issues were addressed regarding the organization of the emergency room, which is currently lacking and causes phenomena of aggression, patients waiting for a bed and overcrowding. Director Liguori proved to be sensitive to these issues and concrete actions were identified to be introduced immediately. In particular, the management undertook to regulate hospitalization support, to dedicate a percentage of specific beds to the emergency room and to review the organization of triage, moving from a counter system to a global triage, in order to reduce clinical risk during assessments. Attention was also paid to the establishment of short intensive observation (OBI) with dedicated staff. “Nursind Salerno expresses satisfaction with the attention shown by director Liguori to our observations, especially regarding worker safety. This meeting confirms that when we sit at a table with the common objective of improving working conditions and patient safety, we can always find an agreement to make healthcare provision more effective and efficient for the population”, they said. concluded Polisciano and Aspromonte.
