Authors Cordero, J. et al. (2018), presents a thoughtful analysis of the
importance of the results obtained in relation to safety in surgical
procedures. He highlights how these results can positively impact the
work of the surgical team by allowing the development of effective
strategies to reduce adverse events, being of great contribution to
the methods applied in the León Becerra Hospital in Guayaquil. It also
underlines the crucial awareness-raising role that these findings play
in orienting the attention of health professionals towards patient
safety. In this sense, it emphasises the need for responsible and
dedicated action on the part of healthcare personnel to achieve this
crucial goal in medical care. The argumentative analysis underlines
the relevance of the results not only in terms of improving clinical
practice, but also in promoting a patient-centred safety culture.
Manchay, N. (2015), clearly and concisely exposes the existing
problems in the company's production processes, highlighting two
fundamental aspects: the presence of unnecessary tasks and the lack
of staff training in new products and effective planning. These
problems have a direct impact on the efficiency and profitability of
the company, generating time and economic losses. The proposal to
improve process quality by systematically identifying and eliminating
problems, together with continuous improvement, presents a sound
strategic approach. In doing so, it not only seeks to increase
productivity and operational efficiency, but also to improve employee
well-being. This demonstrates a clear understanding of how quality
management can not only optimise business results, but also promote
a healthier and more satisfying work environment.
In the detailed analysis of Gonzalez, L. et al. (2019), the results
obtained by implementing a multimodal strategy in a hospital setting.
It highlights how this strategy has led to visible improvements in
process adherence, which is fundamental to ensure quality and safety
in medical care at the León Becerra Hospital in Guayaquil. The
combination of both face-to-face and online human talent training
strategies demonstrates a comprehensive approach to ensuring the
training of all staff, from care to non-care staff. In addition, basing
these sessions on guidelines provided by the WHO reinforces the
quality and relevance of the training provided. The inclusion of visual
information through brochures and posters throughout the hospital
also helps to reinforce knowledge and recall of established
procedures. Taken together, these elements demonstrate a proactive
