Tergooi MC is looking for three new members for the patient safety committee

A wonderful opportunity to further shape quality in the broadest sense within our modern hospital and to bring it further to the work floor. An appropriate compensation for the hours based on knowledge and experience.
A travel allowance of at least € 0.21 per kilometer or 100% public transport reimbursement (NS-business card) and use of our other regulations.

We are looking for three new members for the patient safety committee for approximately 8 hours per week per member. One of the members will fulfill the role of chairperson.

The terms of the current chairperson and vice-chairperson expire on March 1, 2027, and September 1, 2027. The start date for the new members is to be determined by mutual agreement.

Together with an advisor for quality and a legal expert, the three members form the patient safety committee. The chairperson serves as the primary point of contact for the board. The duties will otherwise be the same for the three members.

The current patient safety committee is primarily concerned with investigating and reporting on (potential) calamities and proposing improvement measures based on those findings. Together with the management of the Quality and Improvement department, and informed by the quality portfolio holder of the medical specialist council and the board of directors, you will contribute to the further development of the patient safety committee.

The patient safety committee will be assigned the following core tasks:

1. At the request of the board of directors, investigating and reporting on reportable events, including calamities
2. Centrally collecting trends and common threads from incident reports submitted decentrally, in combination with other patient-related signals (such as, for example, from complaints and claims)
3. Proposing improvement measures to the board of directors, the line organization, and the medical specialist council in the field of patient safety and quality, based on the insights obtained from the above analyses and investigations.

Passion to learn and improve with us in quality and safe care.

An experienced (former) healthcare provider from the medical, nursing, or support field with knowledge of patient safety and experience in conducting incident and calamity investigations, who brings people together in learning teams. This sometimes presents a logistical puzzle, making flexibility regarding availability necessary. Additionally, we are looking for someone who acts independently and forms their own judgment, but asks deepening follow-up questions in a connected manner, is analytically strong, and is a systems thinker with the ability to connect.
