title: [The implementation of a health and safety management system in Veneto local health units and public hospitals].
abstract: The Veneto Region have approved a project with the purpose of developing and implementing a Health and Safety Management System in Veneto local health units and hospitals to improve the healthcare workplace and thereby patient safety. This project aimes to redefine the organisational structure acting on activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures and resources following the internationally accepted Demming cycle of Plan-Do-Check-Act, which is the basis to the system approach to management. Exactly because safety and well-being of the worker and patient are inextricably linked, another project has been approved. This new project combins risk for workers and risk for patients and redefins the organization's management structure to address the complex inter-relationships of worker and patient.
