A Need to Provide Safety and Quality in The Health System

Background: The non-qualitative provision of health services is a certainty in Greece and concerning the difficult economic situation in the country, the problems are constantly increasing. Despite advances in science, the successive meetings of responsible in Health Care Services, specialization in the management of Health Care, it is clear the inability of a concerted effort to improve quality. At international level, a comprehensive reorganization effort is being undertaken to identify weaknesses, find appropriate solutions and establish quality assessment systems.

Objectives: To highlight the need to create a National Agency for Quality in Health and to develop quality assessment systems. We identify shortcomings in terms of both quality and security and present possible proposals at the level of structures, processes and outcomes for the efficient management of the above weaknesses.

Methods: A bibliographic research was made using papers and online literature to identify and review relevant articles.

Results: Electronic prescribing, automation of regular outpatient appointments, adopting international treatment protocols on daily and serious medical issues, the "thirst" of younger doctors to further specialize in their subject of interest, the plethora of research work at university departments and the attempt to gradually renew more and more departments in Public Institutions, show change.

Conclusions: With the proper management, specialized administration in the field of Health Units, rehabilitation and prioritization, a new road opens up with the ultimate goal of the sustainable development of Quality and Safety Systems in the field of Health.
