“…In this situation, the Law n • 24 of March 8, 2017, represents a cornerstone that states the need to integrate patient safety and risk management from clinical, economic, and legal standpoints [46,47].

Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is defined as the presence of a Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, and it represents a significant burden for the healthcare system. This is particularly true when it is diagnosed in the setting of nosocomial infections, which are usually a matter of concern with regard to medical liability being correlated with increasing economic costs and people’s loss of trust in healthcare. Hence, the Italian governance promotes the clinical risk management with the aim of improving the quality and safety of healthcare services. In this context, the role of medico-legal experts working in a hospital setting is fundamental for performing autopsy to diagnose sepsis and link it with possible nosocomial infections. On the other hand, medico-legal experts are party to the clinical risk management assessment, and deal with malpractice cases and therefore contribute to formulating clinical guidelines and procedures for improving patient safety and healthcare providers’ work practices. Due to this scenario, the authors here discuss the role of medico-legal experts in Italy, focusing on sepsis and nosocomial infections.

“…Risk management is a process by which organizations identify potential risks in advance, analyse them, and take precautionary steps to reduce them (International Organization for Standardization, 2009 ). Efficient risk management not only protects the organization’s finances, but also protects intangible assets such as reputation and standing in the community, and more importantly, sustains high levels of care quality and ensures the safety of consumers from accidental injuries (Capasso et al, 2019 ; Liu, 2019 ; Streimelweger et al, 2020 ).…”

Background With adverse events and injuries recurring in residential aged care facilities (RACFs), older adults’ safety in residential age care settings has attracted extensive attention from governments, researchers, and healthcare providers. Risk management is of utmost importance in reducing risks and improving the quality of care for older adults in long-term care. Although previous studies have made great efforts to explore risk management methods and technologies in RACFs, little is known about how managers identify and respond to risks in practice. Purpose This qualitative study aimed to elucidate the perceptions and experiences of managers involved in risk management in RACFs in China. Participants and methods This study used a phenomenological research design. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 managers across 11 RACFs in Changsha City, Hunan Province, China. Data were analysed using Colaizzi’s seven steps and NVivo 12 plus software. Results “Facilitation of an error-free culture” emerged as a central theme of managers’ perceptions of risk management. Four sub-themes were revealed, namely “creating an age-friendly physical environment,” “paying close attention to frail older adults,” “improving the competence of nursing staff,” and “building effective management programs.” Conclusion Facilitation of an error-free culture was of prime importance in risk management. Managers’ experiences can help RACFs to better manage risks, as well as provide new perspectives and approaches for RACFs to improve the quality and outcomes of care. This study developed initiatives for improving resident safety in RACFs and may foster interest in the developing these initiatives.
