LIVERPOOL, U.K. - s4story -- Fix My Practice, a consulting firm based in Liverpool (UK) that focuses on helping health and social care professionals to improve the quality of their services, launches on 3^rd August 2020. Targeting clinics, hospitals and care homes, the firm will help to combat the severe global pandemic of poor-quality care bedevilling the health and social care industry.

When asked why they are launching this service now, Dr Mamuda Aminu, Co-Founder of Fix My Practice, responded, "We planned to launch earlier this year, but we had to postpone the launch due to the Coronavirus pandemic. With hindsight, I must say there isn't a better time to launch our services than now. The pandemic has exposed critical weaknesses in many health systems around the world, including in developed economies. This has strengthened our resolve to serve and make a difference."

Figures from the Harvard Global Health Institute and the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicate that, in high-income countries, 1 in every 10 patients is harmed while receiving care. In low- and middle-income countries, an estimated 134 million adverse care events occur each year, causing 2.6 million preventable deaths.

Unfortunately, poor quality care also comes at a staggering economic cost. In high-income countries, 15% of hospital expenditure is due to mistakes in care or hospital-acquired infections. In low- and middle-income countries, an estimated 1.4 to 1.6 trillion USD is lost each year in lost productivity due to poor quality care and its consequences. Medication errors alone cost a whopping 42 billion USD each year.

In addition, poor quality care causes poor staff morale, loss of public confidence, decreased demand for care by service users and financial losses due to litigations among other effects.

Dr Aminu further explained, "Globally, up to 40% of patients are harmed in primary and outpatient health care, of which 80% are preventable. In high-income countries, 50% of adverse events from poor quality care are preventable. Our experts will make a lot of difference by helping health practices and care homes to identify their top quality priority areas quickly, find realistic and lasting solutions, strengthen the health and social care systems and improve outcomes."

Their experienced consultants have helped hundreds of health facilities to improve care in over 20 countries across three continents.
