退伍军人事务部（VA）因其患者安全举措而受到认可。1998年，一个名为国家患者安全中心（NCPS）的独立实体成立，旨在在退伍军人事务部的所有医疗机构中颁布和培养患者安全活动。在非惩罚性方法的基础上，NCPS培养了一种安全文化，临床医生可以报告不安全的情况和近险呼叫，而不必担心报复。退伍军人事务部的病人安全项目强调，减少医源性伤害最好是通过检查系统和流程的脆弱性，重点是为什么会发生一些事情，而不是谁有错。本文讨论了退伍军人管理局患者安全计划的起源，并回顾了一些成功案例。
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has been recognized for its patient safety initiatives. In 1998, a separate entity entitled the National Center for Patient Safety (NCPS) was established to promulgate and nurture the patient safety activities throughout the health care facilities of the VA. On the basis of a nonpunitive approach, NCPS fosters a culture of safety whereby clinicians report unsafe situations and close calls without fear of reprisals. The VA patient safety program stresses that reducing iatrogenic injury is best served through an examination of system and process vulnerabilities, with a focus on why something occurred rather than who is at fault. This article discusses the genesis of the VA patient safety program and reviews some of its successes.
