Patient Safety and Nursing Information Systems:Exploratory Study on Health Informatics-Based Multidisciplinary Reporting, Education, and Collaboration

Background : Patient safety is a vital aspect of quality healthcare, with nursing practice playing a strategic role. However, its implementation still faces obstacles, especially in incident reporting, education, and cross-professional collaboration. The development of health informatics encourages the use of nursing information systems to improve efficiency, accuracy, and data integration. Health information technology, such as electronic reporting and digital education platforms, provides an opportunity to strengthen the culture of safety in the clinical environment. Objective: Explores patient safety practices in nursing through analysis of incident reporting, educational efforts, and multidisciplinary collaboration, with a focus on the integration of health information technology into nursing information systems.Method: Qualitative research with an interpretive descriptive approach and literature review. Analysis was conducted thematically. Sampling using the method purposive sampling is a type of criterian sampling. The number of participants was 15 participants who were included in the source triangulation category consisting of implementing nurses and room heads. . Semi-structured interview guidelines with in-depth interviews , FGDs and observations using field notes . Results: There are 6 main themes obtained, namely: effectiveness of incident reporting systems, proactive nurse strategies, the role of education, multidisciplinary collaboration, operational challenges, and positive impacts on service quality and public trust. Digital systems such as e-IRS and EHR accelerate response and strengthen communication, although digital literacy and system support are still constrained. Preventive efforts by nurses and family involvement reduce the risk of incidents. Cultural transformation and team learning support continuous safety improvement. Conclusion: Nurses are central actors in supporting patient safety. Digital integration supported by training, leadership, and interdisciplinary collaboration can improve safety outcomes and public trust in hospital services.
