La Seguridad Preventiva Como Nuevo Riesgo Para Los Derechos Humanos

El atentado terrorista contra las torres gemelas nos ha situado ante un nuevo escenario de intervenciones e injerencias preventivas que se venía fraguando desde hacia tiempo, pero, a partir del 11 de septiembre de 2001, la estrategia preventiva se convierte en el paradigma dominante de la esfera internacional. La actual situación de inestabilidad e inseguridad global es imputada de manera exclusiva a la permanente amenaza del denominado terrorismo internacional. Esta interesada interpretación de los conflictos globales está suponiendo, en la práctica, una constante y dramática vulneración de los derechos humanos en todo el mundo, máxime cuando se crea una falsa contradicción al confrontar la seguridad estatal frente a la libertad individual. Desde un compromiso con los derechos humanos y planteando nuevas alternativas para hacer frente, críticamente, a la perversa estrategia de la seguridad preventiva, esta obra aborda algunos retos del contexto actual desde distintos puntos de vista, con la finalidad de sugerir propuestas para el necesario fortalecimiento de la cultura de los derechos humanos. Dada la magnitud de los riesgos que el nuevo escenario preventivo plantea para la sostenibilidad y garantía de todos los derechos humanos, la aproximación ha sido realizada desde un enfoque interdisciplinar, tanto en la forma de abordar estas cuestiones como en la sugerencia de alternativas.

Implementing safety practices in healthcare saves lives and improves the quality of care: it is therefore vital to apply good clinical practices, such as the WHO surgical checklist, to adopt the most appropriate measures for the prevention of assistance-related risks, and to identify the potential ones using tools such as reporting & learning systems. The culture of safety in the care environment and of human factors influencing it should be developed from the beginning of medical studies and in the first years of professional practice, in order to have the maximum impact on clinicians' and nurses' behavior. Medical errors tend to vary with the level of proficiency and experience, and this must be taken into account in adverse events prevention. Human factors assume a decisive importance in resilient organizations, and an understanding of risk control and containment is fundamental for all medical and surgical specialties. This open access book offers recommendations and examples of how to improve patient safety by changing practices, introducing organizational and technological innovations, and creating effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care systems, in order to spread the quality and patient safety culture among the new generation of healthcare professionals, and is intended for residents and young professionals in different clinical specialties.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
