Abstract：Medical errors rank as the third leading cause of patient death worldwide.Standardized whole-process management of patient safety incidents in surgical anesthesia is of great importance for patient safety during the perioperative period.Currently,there is an urgent need to strengthen the reporting mechanisms for patient safety incidents in clinical anesthesia and perioperative care.Meanwhile,a practical and feasible patient safety incidents management system grounded in actual clinical needs to be established.Reporting patient safety incidents and learning from errors can help healthcare institutions fully leverage the valuable resources derived from such incidents,enabling continuous improvement in clinical quality and safety management.In practice,the Department of Anesthesiology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital has explored and established a targeted grid-based management system for perioperative anesthesia patient safety incidents.This system encompasses a closed-loop,whole-process management approach,including reporting,handling,follow-up,discussion and analysis,feedback,data collection,and database development.This model has effectively ensured the reporting rate and timely feedback of patient safety incidents.It has significantly enhanced patient safety management and been beneficial to foster a positive department safety culture.
