This paper describes a multifaceted patient safety project undertaken to address the complex medication safety issues of single-patient insulin pens in the hospital setting. The project makes the following contributions: a) provides observation- and data-based insight into root causes for the wrong pen/wrong patient problem; b) provides multiple solutions that can work together to significantly reduce the incidence of insulin pen-related safety events; c) shows how Quality and Safety methodologies can work hand-in-hand with human factors and human computer interaction methodologies to produce richer, more in depth results, and d) confirm expert recommendations for best practices that can reduce risks.

“…A Delphi panel approach is mostly applied in decision making for predicting the future, formulating best practice and defining abstract perceptions of the problem [52,54]. The Delphi panel approach processes are used to collectively gather consensus empirical information among groups of experts where there is little or inadequate information about a particular problem [53]. Expert panel formation will consist of identified stakeholder classifications from highways road transport and healthcare hospital building sectors in the CI from United Kingdom and Ghana.…”

Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have been used in the construction industry to deliver critical infrastructure projects in various sectors. PPPs performance improvement is a current stakeholder concern due to numerous project failures. This research compares PPPs transport and health sector infrastructure in the United Kingdom and Ghana to produce a sustainable performance improvement model. The research aim is twofold: first, to develop an empirical performance improvement model for PPP best practice implementation for the UK and Ghanaian transport and health sectors. Secondly, it will examine and compare the UK and Ghanaian PPP transport and health sector stakeholders' Critical Success Factors (CSF) and risks. A rigorous literature review on complex IPs was conducted into PPP transport and health sectors to identify stakeholders CSF and risks in infrastructure sector projects. Four (4) Delphi expert panels and statistical analysis will be used to identify the CSF and risks for successful implementation. The proposed research will establish valuable information for the public and private sectors' stakeholder interests when investing in transport and health infrastructure projects through PPP in both the UK and Ghanaian construction industries.

“…These recommendations were recently expanded, and a list of best practices for safe insulin pen use based on the consensus of an expert panel has been published. 33 ISMP has issued numerous newsletters describing the perceived benefits of and potential safety concerns associated with inpatient insulin pen use, consistently urging health systems to ensure that safety measures are established and clinical staff education is provided. 16,[34][35][36][37][38] Citing ongoing reports of misuse despite clinical staff education and system safety measure implementation, ISMP has suggested that the most effective strategy to mitigate patient risk due to insulin pen sharing would be for hospitals to transition away from the routine inpatient use of insulin pens.…”
