administering drugs, giving blood or blood products, carrying out radiation
therapy)
b. Before performing any procedure (eg placing an intravenous line or
hemodialysis)
c. Before any diagnostic procedure (eg taking blood and other specimens for
laboratory supporting examination, or before performing a cardiac
catheterization or diagnostic radiology procedure)
d. Before serving patient food
4
Goals II
B. The Write, Read, Confirm (TBAK) method is used if there is verbal and/or telephone
communication:
1) Submission of critical diagnostic examination results
2) Oral and/or telephone orders or instructions.
C. Oral instructions are documented in the TBAK file in the electronic medical record
(EMR) and must be verified within a maximum of 1X24 hours by the order giver
(DPJP).
D. Telephone instructions are documented in the TBAK file in the electronic medical
record ( EMR ) and must be verified within a maximum of 1X24 hours by the order
giver ( DPJP ).
E. The complete results of the examination are documented and re-read by the
recipient of the message and confirmed by the officer who reported the results.
F. The health worker who can give verbal instructions over the telephone is the doctor
in charge of service (DPJP).
G. Health workers who can receive verbal instructions via telephone are doctors on
duty, nurses in charge of services (PPJP), associate nurses, pharmacists and
dietitians.
H. For instructions by telephone related to LASA, the recipient of the message must
spell the name of the drug in the phonetic alphabet.
I. Ordering drugs and or ordering drugs verbally is avoided, except in an emergency

2.1 The hospital develops and implements a process for receiving critical
results and diagnostic examination
A. The hospital determines the amount of critical laboratory values / vital signs and
the results of critical diagnostic examinations which include
1) Clinical Pathology Examination
2) Clinical Microbiology Examination
3) Pathological Anatomical Examination
4) Diagnostic Radiological Examination
5) Electrocardiogram Examination
6) Vital Signs Value
Vital signs include: blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiration and pain.
Vital signs will be converted to the Early Warning System (EWS) interpretation.
B. The list and amount of critical values for each type of diagnostic examination are
determined as contained in the attachment to this policy.
C. Every critical laboratory examination result / critical diagnostic examination result
must be immediately verified by the Doctor in Charge of Medical Engineering
(DPJTM).
D. Any critical vital sign values must be immediately reported to the doctor on
duty/DPJP.
E. The deadline for submitting critical laboratory and radiodiagnostic values is no
later than 30 minutes, except for the results of the ECG examination within 5
minutes (the time limit is calculated from the verification of critical results by the
DPJTM until the critical value information is received from the DPJP or the
Doctor on Duty).
F. The results of critical diagnostic examinations are documented by the recipient
of the information in the SOAPIE electronic medical record (EMR). In the
objective (O) column, the record is written as the recipient's time, the type of
critical result and the name that provides the information. Recipients of critical
results in rooms and polyclinics are nurses and immediately report to the DPJP
or doctor on duty. Outside working hours for outpatient critical results will be
immediately conveyed to the patient / family and educated to come immediately
to the emergency room to check.
G. Communication when reporting critical results of diagnostic support
examinations via telephone: writing / inputting to a computer, reading out,
confirming again and documenting it in the medical record.
H. Recipients of critical laboratory and radiodiagnostic results immediately submit
to the DPJP for follow-up. Reporting of recipients of critical results to the DPJP /
6
doctor on duty applies according to the provisions for verbal / telephone
reporting
I. Each POCT (Point of Care Testing) laboratory examination result must be
reported to the Central Laboratory. These results will be validated by the Central
Laboratory / DPJTM. The central laboratory will send the results of the
examination through the Laboratory Information System (LIS) so that they can
be read back by the DPJP or the doctor on duty in the room. The critical value of
the POCT examination results refers to the hospital's critical value setting policy.
If the POCT results show a critical value, the DPJTM will report it to the DPJP or
the doctor in charge of the room according to the critical value reporting
procedure.
2.2 The hospital develops and implements a communication process for
handovers
A. Handover of hospitalized patients, includes

from the intensive care unit to the care unit, patients move between units,
from the care unit (low care) to the operating room and from the emergency
unit to the operating room
4. From inpatient units to diagnostic service units or action units such as
radiology or endoscopy.
5. From diagnostic service units or action units such as radiology or endoscopy
to inpatient units

results, increased EWS, plans for using inotropic drugs (Dopamine,
Dobutamine), correction plans for critical diagnostic examination results:
hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hyperglycemia ,
hypoglycemia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, plans to move rooms, plans for
action/surgery, plans for consuls, plans for diagnostic examinations and taking
the results.

documented in the SBAR medical record of handover between shifts using a
report book that shows who handed over and who received.
E. The process of handover of patient care (handover) is carried out between
various levels of service in in the hospital is documented in the patient transfer
medical record.
F. Handover evaluation is carried out by nurses and doctors who received
handover from the previous shift to assess the handover process according to
what was handed over or if there were critical problems that were not handed
over from the previous handover process.
G. If during the handover evaluation there is a communication error or an action
that is not handed over ends up causing injury to the patient / KTD a safety
incident report will be made and efforts to repair the conditions when the
handover process occurs

Goals IV
3. The hospital develops and implements a process for preoperative verification and
operative/invasive site marking.
A. Areas that can perform surgical and or invasive procedures include:
1) Central Surgical Installation (IBP) operating room
2) Operation Room Emergency Room (IGD Floor 5)
3) PPJT cardiac surgery operating room unit
4) Cathlab Unit
5) Endoscopy Unit and Pulmonary Action Unit
6) URJ Surgery room 4th floor
7) Gilut Installation Action Room
8) Urogenital Invasive Installation (IIU)
9) Action room in the Radiodiagnostic & Radiotherapy room
10) Graha Amerta Obgyn & Fertility Action Room.
11) STOC operating room
B. The hospital implements a preoperative verification process before any surgical or
invasive procedures are performed. This process is carried out and documented in
the medical record of preoperative verification and surgical safety check-in. This
verification is carried out in the room (before the patient is sent to the operating
room) up to the operating preparation room (premedication room). This verification
ensures that:
1) The actions are in accordance with the contents of the informed consent
2) Verify correct patient, correct action and correct location
3) All document requirements, blood products, medical equipment, and
medical device implants are available and functioning properly.
C. Verification before surgery regarding the correctness of the patient is carried out by
confirming the patient's identity (according to IPSG 1 policy), correctness of the
action is carried out by checking the suitability of the actions listed in the informed
consent form with the medical record of the preoperative assessment, verification of
blood products and implants is carried out by looking at the compatibility direct
relationship between available blood and implants and those listed in the
preoperative assessment.
D. Correct site marking should be determined when the procedure is scheduled.
Marking of the operating area (site marking) in surgical or invasive procedures is
carried out by the individual who will carry out the procedure (the operator or doctor
13
in charge of the operation). PPDS can carry out site marking if the PPDS will carry
out all actions (act as a doctor operator) that require minimal supervision from the
doctor in charge of the operation. Site marking is a sign (√) in a circle.
E. Time marking is done before the patient enters the operating room or invasive
procedure room. What is meant by before the patient enters the operating room or
invasive procedure room is marking done in the room before being sent to the
operating room, or done in the preoperative waiting area in cases of emergency
surgery, outpatient/one day care, and invasive procedures.
F. Marking the correct location of the operation must be recorded in the medical record,
done on the same side near the surgical incision using a permanent marker that
does not fade against povidone iodine and alcohol to keep the mark visible after the
patient is stored and covered with cloth (drapping).
G. Site marking is carried out with the involvement of the patient. Marking conditions
where patients are not allowed to participate, for example; patients who require
emergency surgery, patients with decreased or unconscious consciousness, who
are not competent to make decisions (patients are children or aged ≤ 18 years) then
the marking must be accompanied by a family/guardian.
H. Procedure for marking the operating area (site marking), including at least marking
on:
1) All cases involving laterality,
2) Bilateral organs
3) Double structure (fingers or toes)
4) Or several levels (spine).
I. Marking of the operating area (site marking) is not necessary in cases of covering:
1) Cases of one organ/single organ (eg, cesarean section, heart surgery,
circumcision, etc.).
2) Intervention cases (eg, Prostate TUR, laryngoscopy, laparoscopy, esophageal
examination).
J. If it is not possible to mark the location of the operation, then the marking can be
done on an X-ray and drawn in the medical record.
K. Special marking procedures are carried out on:
1) Procedures for babies that require invasive procedures, where marking will
result in permanent tattoos, are marked on X-rays and drawn in the Medical
Record.
2) Cases of burns do not need to be marked on the location on the body but done
in the medical record.
3) In patients with surgical or invasive dental and oral procedures, marking is done
on dental images (odontogram) in the medical record. Marking in the form of (√)
14
in a circle at the location to be operated on and confirmed to the patient before
surgery.
L. Time marking is done before the patient enters the operating room or invasive
procedure room. What is meant by before the patient enters the operating room or
invasive procedure room is the marking done in the room before being sent to the
operating room, or done in the preoperative waiting area in cases of emergency
surgery, outpatient/one day care, and invasive procedures.
M. Marking the correct location of the operation must be recorded in the Medical
Record, carried out on the same side near the surgical incision using a permanent
marker that does not fade against povidone iodine and alcohol to keep the mark
visible after the patient is prepared and covered with cloth (drapping).
N. Site marking is carried out with the involvement of the patient. Marking conditions
where patients are not allowed to participate, for example; patients who require
emergency surgery, patients with decreased or unconscious consciousness, who
are not competent to make decisions (patients are children or aged ≤ 18 years) then
the marking must be accompanied by a family/guardian.
O. If it is not possible to mark the operation site, then the marking can be done on an X-
ray and drawn in the medical record.
P. Special marking procedures are carried out on:
1) Procedures for babies that require invasive procedures, where marking will result
in permanent tattoos, are marked on X-rays and drawn in the medical record.
2) Cases of burns do not need to be marked on the location on the body but done in
the medical record.
3) In patients with surgical or invasive dental and oral procedures, marking is done
on dental images (odontogram) in the medical record. Marking in the form of (√) in
a circle at the location to be operated on and confirmed to the patient before
surgery.
4.1 The hospital develops and implements a time-out process to be carried out
immediately before surgery/invasive procedures are started and for a sign-out
process to be carried out after the procedure is completed.
A. The hospital adapts and implements the Surgical Check-in by referring to the WHO
version of the Safe Surgery Safe Life Guidelines in 2009. In general, surgical check-
in activities include the following processes: sign-in, time-out and sign-out.
B. The surgical review process is carried out to create process uniformity in improving
quality and safety in surgical / invasive services. The entire surgical review process
is documented in the electronic medical record of the surgical checklist. The time
15
recorded in the surgical review process is the time according to the clock in the
operating room (OK hours).
C. The sign-in stage is carried out by the nurse and the anesthesiologist before
induction of anesthesia is carried out including the components:
1) Patient identity
2) Confirm the patient's allergy history
3) Ensure that the patient and family have signed informed consent and consent
for anesthesia
4) Ensuring drugs and anesthetic machines, cardiopulmonary machines
(especially for heart surgery) and other special medical equipment are
complete and functioning properly.
5) Ensure patient clinical risks and risks in the event of an emergency during
and after surgery or invasive procedures.
D. The Time-out stage is carried out at the operating site just before the start of a skin
incision or arterial/venous puncture involving all members of the surgical team or the
invasive procedure team
E. The team present must be actively involved during the time-out process. After the
time-out is completed by the team, team members are not allowed to leave the
room. Patients are not allowed to participate in this time-out process.
F. During the time-out the team must agree on the following components;
1) Correct patient identification
2) Correct the procedure to be carried out
3) Correct location of surgical/invasive procedures
G. The entire time-out process is documented in the surgical review medical record.
The documentation includes the following components; date and time of starting
time-out, team present, accuracy of patient identity (name & medical record
number), procedure and where the incision was made, prophylactic antibiotics,
position on the operating table, anticipation of critical conditions and blood loss,
special conditions in patients related to anesthesia , sterility of tools and implants,
equipment problems that may occur, photos/images that have been shown, the
amount of gauze prepared, confirmation to the team whether the operation/invasive
procedure can be started, the date and time the time-out ends, and the signature of
the surgical and anesthesia team.
H. Time-out process just before surgery/invasive action is carried out in the operating
room area and medical action unit other than the operating room, which allows
modification or adjustment of medical record forms for surgical viewing which
includes sign-in, time-out, sign-out for surgical/invasive actions outside the operating
room (local time-out).
16
I. Agreement or confirmation of starting the incision begins with prayer and the
approval of all team members by saying the word "agree”.
J. Surgical view in the unit or area outside the operating room includes: general
surgery room at the 4th Floor Outpatient Installation, Oral Dental Installation Action
Room, Urogenital Invasive Installation (IIU), Pulmonary action unit, Endoscopi,
Action room in the radiodiagnostic room and radiotherapy, emergency room, which
does not use sedation and narcotics will use a surgical checklist model that is in
accordance with local needs so that it is not the same as the form used in the
operating room.
K. The sign-out process is started by the surgical nurse as a team member doing
verbal confirmation with the following components;
1) The name of the operation/invasive action recorded
2) Completeness of instrument calculations, gauze and needles if any.
3) Labeling of specimens (when there is a specimen, then during the sign-out
process the label must be clearly read out as the patient's identity; name and
medical record number).
4) Equipment problems that need to be addressed
5) Conscious recovery issues that may be of concern.

Goals V
Reducing the Risk of Healthcare-Associated Infections
18
Goals VI
Reducing the Risk of Patient Injury Due to Falls
6. The hospital develops and implements a process aimed at reducing the risk of
patient injury from falls for inpatients
A. Fall prevention includes:
1) Fall risk assessment
2) Management of risk reduction based on the results of the assessment.
3) Fall risk education
4) Evaluation of the implementation of fall risk reduction and patient fall
incidents
B. Identify the type of patient population that has factors that increase the risk of
falling including:
1) Condition and diagnosis of the patient
2) Functional impairment of the patient (eg balance disturbances, visual
disturbances, or changes in cognitive status)
3) Location (eg a physical therapy unit that has a lot of specific equipment used
by the patient which can increase the patient's risk of falling) or hospital
environment (eg patient arrival by ambulance, transfer of patient from
wheelchair or gurney).
4) History of the patient falling.
5) Consumption of certain drugs
6) Consumption of alcohol
C. The process of assessing inpatient services will assess the risk of falling (fall risk
assessment) according to the applicable scale. The applicable fall risk patient
rating scale is:
1) Morse Fall Scale for inpatient adult patients
2) Humpty Dumpty Scale for pediatric patients (age ≤ 18 yrs)
3) Admonson's scale for psychiatric patients.
4) The Sydney scale for geriatric patients follows the provisions of the initial
nursing assessment
D. The fall risk assessment includes a process:
1) Initial assessment: carried out at the initial admission of the patient to the
hospital after the initial nursing assessment was carried out
2) Follow-up assessment: carried out in the form of monitoring non-risk/low-risk
patients every 24 hours, high-risk falls every 8 hours
3) Re-assessment is done on the patient;
a. Transferred from one treatment unit to another treatment unit.
19
b. Changes in the patient's condition (for example: surgery and/or
anesthesia, medication adjustments)
c. After experiencing a fall.
E. Neonates are considered a high risk group so they are treated and managed as
high risk patients fall.
F. Fall risk management, namely identified patients, interventions such as:
1) Raising the safety rail of inpatient beds
2) The wheels of the bed are locked
3) Patients / families are given education on how to reduce or prevent patients
from falling
4) Documented in the medical record
5) Especially in patients with a high risk of falling coupled with:
a) Labeling fall risk on the ID bracelet.
b) Yellow triangular sign on the bed.
6) In anxious/mental disorder patients, 3-point fixation can be carried out with
flannel cloth with the approval of the family and an assessment and
monitoring of restraint can be carried out.
G. If there is an incident where the patient falls, then do:
1) Evacuate the patient to a safe place
2) Observation of the patient's condition to find injuries / wounds
3) Collection of incident information and documented in the CPPT, including
date and time of fall, patient description of the fall, observations/vital signs
4) Reassessment of fall risk
5) Report incidents to the Patient Safety Sub Committee in accordance with the
procedures for reporting patient safety incidents.
H. In patients admitted to Hemodialysis, management of the risk of falling following
hospitalization. All Hemodialysis patients are categorized at high risk of falling.
I. The hospital develops a patient fall prevention program that aims to reduce the
incidence of patient falls including efforts, among others:
1) Patient safety rounds
2) Monitoring falls
3) Guidance on patient assessment technique falls
20
7.1 The hospital develops and implements a process to reduce the risk of patient
injury from falls for outpatients
A. Outpatients with fall risk criteria, including; patients with walkers, geriatric patients
who are weak, or walk weakly/unsteadily, limb weakness, or visual impairment
are screened for fall risk when they come to the hospital.
B. Screening is carried out by trained officers which include; security officers,
information officers, transporters, doctors and nurses on duty in the hospital
lobby area.
C. The screening is visual in nature, that is, it is carried out with the “Modified Get
Up and Go Test” assessment. Where by looking; gait/gait and the presence of a
walker
D. Outpatient screening procedures are not carried out in the group of pediatric
patients less than 2 years old, because they will be directly included in the fall
risk group.
E. Patients who enter the emergency room fall risk management follow outpatient
care.
F. Patients with screening results are at risk of falling, they will be treated as follows:
1) Given a yellow band on the upper arm for outpatient care and a yellow
sticker for the emergency department as a marker for falling risk patients.
2) Providing a fast track card for patients with conditions generally requiring
speed of service, which includes but is not limited to; weak, disabled,
moderate and severe pain.
3) Assisted by transfer services if the patient needs either a wheelchair or a
stretcher.
G. Groups of patients requiring transfer services include:
1) Patients with difficulty walking alone (foot defects, visual impairment,
neurological disorders, under the influence of drugs which have the side
effect of depressing consciousness).
2) Do not have walking aids if the patient's condition requires assistance.
H. Documentation of outpatient fall risk screening:
1) Documentation of screening results is carried out by nurses in each
outpatient service unit by paying attention to gait and walking aids.
2) The results of the screening and intervention are documented in the medical
record of outpatient services
I. Perform interventions for patients who are at risk of falling:
1) Provide a wheelchair or offer a stretcher if the patient requires it. Wheel chair
or gurney if used, lock the wheel and raise the safety rail.
21
2) Provide education to patients so they don't hesitate to ask for help from
officers or companions when they are going to carry out activities while in the
hospital, for example; going to the toilet.
3) Provide education to the patient's companion (caregiver) to always
accompany and assist the patient's activities while in the hospital
J. Inform the patient / family to remove the yellow tape and throw it in the medical
waste bin (yellow bin) when the patient is leaving the hospital.
