| Project description
|
The partnership project between the University of Rostock and Hôpital Régional de Kindia intends to improve patient safety in three phases. In the first phase, safety deficits in clinical routine will be identified through joint observations and discussions. Guinean-German teams will analyse the workflows in the hospital. In the second phase of the project, possible solutions will be elaborated jointly. Such solutions may include new standard operating instructions and training courses for the staff of the Guinean partner institution. In the third project phase, the new standards will be integrated into the daily clinical routine and monitored by mixed Guinean-German teams. In addition, a new diagnostic technology for the rapid detection of highly dangerous infections will be deployed in collaboration with Brandenburg Medical School. Joint workshops and training sessions will build capacity. A triage system will be introduced in the emergency room, and awareness of hygiene issues in the clinical routine will be improved.
