Quality and safety management of advanced medical technologies in home care organisations in the Netherlands: a qualitative survey at the tactical level

There is a lack of uniformity regarding quality and safety procedures for the use of AMTs in homecare organisations, and structured policies for the implementation, use and maintenance of AMTs are needed. This study identified additional risk factors regarding individual competencies in the use of AMTs at home. Employees at the tactical level seem to be more positive about the patient safety culture with AMTs in their organisations than nurses at the operational level are.
