In Morocco, several AI applications are being deployed in public and private healthcare establishments, improving appointment management, surgical operations, diagnostics, patient record tracking, biology and radiology, and OR organization. This article explores the main AI applications used in the Moroccan healthcare sector, their frequency of use, the types of establishments adopting them, as well as the main functionalities of each application and its contribution to the sector. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the main AI applications on quality of care and process efficiency in Moroccan healthcare facilities. This research focuses on several fundamental questions: Which AI applications are most frequently used? What types of establishments are adopting these technologies, and for which specific functionalities? What are the benefits and challenges of integrating AI into the Moroccan healthcare system, particularly in terms of territorial distribution and accessibility? The methodology is based on a quantitative analysis of data collected from selected healthcare establishments, combined with studies of reports from public health authorities and a sweep of their websites. The results show that 45% of hospitals use AI systems for appointment scheduling and 30% for medical diagnosis. The use of surgical robots, such as the Da Vinci system, increased by 30% between 2020 and 2024. Comparisons with other emerging countries highlight Morocco’s acceptable advances, while underlining the challenges, particularly in terms of the territorial distribution of these technological infrastructures generally centralized in the country’s major cities.展开更多

Nurses failing to fulfill this responsibility position their patients at risk. This paper presents two real-life cases pertaining to patients’ safety resulting in fatal outcomes, leading to the professional, legal, and ethical liability of nurses as the providers of patient care. Objective: This paper focuses on the role of organizational culture in fostering patient safety specifically in monitoring and documentation of patients’ vital signs and early recognition of warning signs. Methodology: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using various databases, examining the significance of vital signs monitoring and documentation and early warning signs in patient safety. Relevant articles combining quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed. Results: By fostering an environment of honest reporting, healthcare organizations can enhance patient safety and improve the quality of care. This paper offers valuable insights and recommendations for developing effective strategies aligned with organizational policies and protocols. Conclusion: This paper serves as a valuable resource, encouraging healthcare professionals to reflect on their practices and the organizations to assess their contributions to creating a culture of safety. It also highlights the importance of reporting and disclosing adverse events as learning opportunities and outlines the role of ethics, professionalism, legislation, and organizational support in achieving patient safety.展开更多

In this study, we tried to clarify the effect on patient safety of brief interventions via DPBs by pharmacists. The study design was a randomized controlled trial on pharmacies as clusters. 65 pharmacies agreed to participate in the study (intervention group (IG): 33;control group (CG): 32). The primary outcomes were: rate of inquiry occurrence, rate of prescription change, and rates of duplicate medications & drug interactions. 56 pharmacies (IG: 29;CG: 27) completed the study. There was a higher tendency for prescription changes in the IG compared to the CG (IG: 0.03%;CG: 0.02%;P = 0.08). In addition, the rate of duplicate medications & drug interactions accounting for the inquiries was significantly higher in the IG than in the CG (IG: 89.2%;CG: 71.9%;P = 0.01). This implied that brief interventions by pharmacists using DPBs had an effect in raising patient safety.展开更多
