“…Risk assessment is a key part of risk management which aims to identify organizational weaknesses and implement required actions. In addition, risk assessment can support organizations to audit processes and improve the overall quality of the service while complying with quality standards and assuring organization accreditation-for example, the ACSA accreditation model (Almuedo-Paz et al 2012).…”

“…The literature provides substantial evidence that HIS risk awareness among healthcare professionals is critical; must be mandatory; is required by standard hospital regulations (Almuedo-Paz et al 2012); and should result from multidisciplinary approaches (Haghighi and Torabi 2020). Risk identification and awareness are critical in the initial stages of training (Shah 2020; Walpole, Taylor, and Banerjee 2017) and run-time phases of auditing, prevention, and continuous improvement (Almuedo-Paz et al 2012). Moreover, it should be constantly updated because digital transformation and societal challenges are evolving at an accelerated pace (Sheikh et al 2021).…”

Hospital information systems continue to transform healthcare practices at a disruptive rate. However, such transformational changes within healthcare practices also introduce new technical risks. Therefore, all stakeholders within a healthcare setting must be aware of the potential risks hospital information systems pose to patient care safety and quality. This paper adopts a focus group study and Delphi method approach to examine (i) the range of risks identified by thirty-two experts from different Portuguese hospitals and (ii) the level of awareness across healthcare practitioners. The contribution of the research is threefold. First, we present a literature summary on risks associated with hospital information systems. Second, we present findings on a typology of twenty-three risks and evaluate the perception of healthcare professionals on their potential impacts. Third, we discuss strategies to improve risk awareness with hospital information systems within the hospital environment, with broader implications for other healthcare settings, considering the different perspectives of healthcare workers.

“… Auto-auditorías: son pruebas auto-evaluativas con revisiones de historias clínicas de pacientes atendidos por el o la profesional, que no necesitan presentar ningún documento de acreditación. Se realizan sobre la base de estándares establecidos por el programa [5]. Son las pruebas más comunes pero, dadas las doi: 10.5867/medwave.2014.06.5998 características del modelo de portafolio, estas pruebas no necesitan de una validación externa inicial, aunque están sujetas a posteriores auditorías.…”

“…El uso de portafolios con fines de certificación o revalidación, o como herramientas para el desarrollo profesional, está cada vez más extendido entre las distintas profesiones sanitarias [4]. El modelo de certificación de competencias profesionales de la Agencia de Calidad Sanitaria de Andalucía (ACSA) se incluye dentro de los modelos de portafolio usados para medir la competencia profesional en el ámbito sanitario [5]. Además, comparte muchos elementos con los modelos de acreditación institucional [6], [7] como la voluntariedad, la organización por estándares o la autoevaluación entre otros.…”
