NHS England has launched a new streamlined patient safety warning system in a bid to speed up the dissemination of emerging risks across the NHS. Trusts who fail to act within the timeframes set for action will be named and shamed.
Until now, information about risks identified through the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) has been issued through a range of different channels, including Patient Safety Alerts and Rapid Response Reports. But the development, consultation, and agreement process was lengthy, which inevitably sparked delays.
The new National Patient Safety Alerting System (NPSAS) has three stages and is based on those used in other high-risk industries like aviation.
