In cases of serious misconduct, remediation is deemed to be an important factor when considering the risk of harm from a practitioner under investigation.

In cases involving dishonesty or sexual misconduct, remediation was less likely to serve as a mitigating factor.

In such cases, remediation informs judgements on the levels of practitioner insight and the risk of such misconduct being repeated. Our results suggest a need to develop remediation interventions that are explicitly geared towards the regulatory function of developing practitioner insight. Regulators should also consider the structure of their fitness to practise processes and whether there are appropriate opportunities for judgements on remediation to feed into decisions and to facilitate balanced and proportionate outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":9077,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Quality & Safety","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141896743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is little evidence regarding the challenges and facilitators of implementing hybrid interventions. This paper reports on a process evaluation of a patient safety hybrid intervention called Your Care Needs You (YCNY). YCNY was tested in the Partners at Care Transitions (PACT) randomised controlled trial and aimed to enhance older patients and their families' involvement in their care in order to achieve safer transitions from hospital to home.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The process evaluation took place across eight intervention wards taking part in the PACT trial. 23 interviews and 37 informal conversations were conducted with National Health Service (NHS) staff. Patients (n=19) were interviewed twice, once in hospital and once after discharge. Interviews with staff and patients concerned the delivery and experiences of YCNY. Ethnographic observations (n=81 hours) of relevant activities (eg, multidisciplinary team meetings, handovers, etc) were undertaken.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The main finding relates to how staff understood and engaged with YCNY, which then had a major influence on its implementation. While staff broadly valued the aims of YCNY, staff from seven out of the eight wards taking part in the process evaluation enacted YCNY in a mostly task-based manner. YCNY implementation often became a hurried activity which concentrated on delivering fixed intervention components rather than a catalyst for culture change around patient involvement. Factors such as understaffing, constraints on staff time and the COVID-19 pandemic contributed towards a 'taskification' of intervention delivery, which meant staff often did not have capacity to creatively devise flexible intervention components. However, one ward with a sense of distributed ownership of YCNY had considerable success implementing flexible components.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Hybrid interventions may allow aspects of an intervention to be adapted to the local context.

Though patients and caregivers are key actors in promoting and monitoring their own ambulatory safety, healthcare teams do not traditionally partner with patients in safety efforts. We sought to identify what patients and caregivers contribute when engaged in ambulatory AE review, focusing on under-resourced care settings. Methods We recruited adult patients, caregivers and patient advisors who spoke English, Spanish and/or Cantonese, from primary care clinics affiliated with a public health network in the USA. All had experience taking or managing a high-risk medication (blood thinners, insulin or opioid). We presented two exemplar ambulatory AEs: one involving a warfarin drug-drug interaction, and one involving delayed diagnosis of colon cancer. We conducted semistructured focus groups and interviews to elicit participants’ perceptions of causal factors and potential preventative measures for similar AEs. The study team conducted a mixed inductive-deductive qualitative analysis to derive major themes. Findings The sample included 6 English-speaking patients (2 in the focus group, 4 individual interviews), 6 Spanish-speaking patients (individual interviews), 4 Cantonese-speaking patients (2 in the focus group, 2 interviews), and 6 English-speaking patient advisors (focus group). Themes included: (1) Patients and teams have specific safety responsibilities; (2) Proactive communication drives safe ambulatory care; (3) Barriers related to limited resources contribute to ambulatory AEs. Patients and caregivers offered ideas for operational changes that could drive new safety projects. Conclusions An ethnically and linguistically diverse group of primary care patients and caregivers defined their agency in ensuring ambulatory safety and offered pragmatic ideas to prevent AEs they did not directly experience. Patients and caregivers in a safety net health system can feasibly participate in AE review to ensure that safety initiatives include their valuable perspectives.
