The artificial ventilation system is a multi-factor system with some high uncertain risks which should be under controlled by medical risk management of hospitals. The key suggestions for reducing the accidence caused by ventilator are recommented： 1 ） to clarify the risk factor of ventilators, 2 ） to set up management group of ventilators with a clinical engineer who is good at management and quality control of medical equipment on ventilators, 3 ） to develop ventilator clinical practice for safety use, 4 ） to explore the effective risk monitoring and early warning system and mechanism on ventilator application.
This article introduced the structure and features of the medical safety and quality management system of New South Wales (NSW) of Australia. The system was funded by government with overall design, multi-sectors involvement, and explicit roles of government, hospitals, and independent third parties. The system also developed national and state-wide regulations, policies, standards and their certification. The NSW Health Incident Information Management System (IIMS), the guidelines and interventional programs were also established to decrease the medical risk and ensure the healthcare quality. This system will be used for reference to the national medical risk and quality management system of China.
