Interactive Healthcare Training’s Post

Certificate of completion, الحمدللہ I'm glad to share my Certificate of completion for PS 101. Introduction to patient safety by Institute for healthcare Improvement (IHI). Mile stone towards patient safety. patient safety is the top most priority of healthcare system which is the ultimate goal. Patient safety first. IPSGs Healthcare Health outcomes.

Don’t delay, register today for #CHIA’s new webinar Webinar: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Information Sharing Not Blocking. Live Session April 24, 2024, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM. This webinar is designed to equip #healthcare providers with a thorough understanding of the #ONC Information Blocking Part 171 and CMS Interoperability and Patient Access rules. https://buff.ly/3TWiVOC #informationsharing #informationblocking

I was interviewed by the BBC for nearly an hour and my comment in the article is probably the most negative thing I said. I think that #EPRs are a massive improvement for NHS trusts that have no/ paper patient records. I am NOT saying that purchasing and implementing them is a retrograde step, it isn't. However, they do need to be properly implemented in order to reap the opportunities that they promise, and to ensure that they are safe to use. This covers both clinical safety and patient safety. Proper implementation requires funding. Funding for adequate planning, project management, configuration and design (with expert human factors input), and LOTS of testing by users before the system is implemented. Then, once it is implemented, maintaining that attention to see how it is actually being used in practise, and whether that gives rise to safety risks not previously considered. Does the interface need to be amended (as was clearly the case in Durham & Darlington)? NHS England now has to realise that poor #EPR implementations are a significant patient safety issue, in fact, it should be part of the National Patient Safety Strategy. If funding is to be provided for software licence procurement, it is likely that at least that much money again (if not more) will be needed to support a safe, high quality implementation. If that funding is not provided by NHS England, then Trusts will need to find it. I was asked the other day whether I would prefer a Trust to stick with a paper-based system, or do a sub-optimal EPR implementation. It's not a tough decision. Do the EPR implementation, but perhaps only in high priority areas where wraparound support can be afforded. There is massive lack of human factors expertise in healthcare. This is a crucial requirement (in my view) for any safe EPR implementation. Let's stop cutting corners too. I know of one Trust where a newly qualified CSO was asked to lead on clinical safety for the whole programme in addition to their day job of being one of the lead EPR clinical advisors. That is just not acceptable. Yes, it saves the Trust some money, but it is inherently clinically unsafe. Let's try and do better. As you can tell, this is an issue close to my heart and that of Patient Safety Learning and Helen Hughes. We will be running a closed, virtual round table discussion on this very topic next month chaired by the eminent Sam Shah. We hope to share the output publicly a few weeks after that. #digitalhealth #implementation #training #humanfactors #safetydesign #safetymanagement #clinicalsafety #patientsafety Shane Tickell, 🩺 Dr Gyles Morrison MBBS MSc, Dr Patrick Lester, PhD, Scott Hislop CEng MSc, Mark Sujan, Alan Brown, Adrian Byrne FBCS CHCIO, Simon Swift, Jonathan Hazan, Dean Mawson, Leah Parry, Cathy Wield, Neal Jones, Paul S Weston, Keith Grimes, Dr Saif Abed, ETHOS Ltd, Safehand Consulting Limited, Dave Kelsall FBCS CITP, Stephen Dobson, Andy Haywood

It's certainly an interesting article Clive and it's sparked a lot of discussion at Safehand Towers. Statistically we are bound to see more safety-related issues as EPR usage increases. That's not particularly a comment on their safety profile but rather a function of the number of electronic interactions occurring each day. At Safehand, we most often see issues related to communication at system boundaries. As we increase the number of systems in use in an organisation, complexity ramps up and behaviour becomes less and less predictable. This, in turn, introduces new hazards with complex failure modes. It's impossible to reduce risk to zero. But we are duty bound to continue to actively manage clinical risk, preferably through the implementation of standards like #DCB0129 and #DCB0160. The key to this is to get away from seeing compliance as an administrative overhead. Instead, it should be a seed for making subtle, tangible and practical changes – actions which collectively move the risk profile to a place we are all happier with.

3Analytics is advocating for Med Safety Week to promote awareness and education around medication safety, which is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and reducing the risk of medication errors.   By championing Med Safety Week, 3Analytics aims to:   1. Empower Patients: Educating individuals about their medications helps them take an active role in their healthcare, leading to safer and more effective medication management.   2. Enhance Communication: Encouraging open dialogue between patients and healthcare providers fosters a culture of safety, allowing for the identification and resolution of potential issues before they escalate.   3. Reduce Errors: By raising awareness about the importance of proper medication use and disposal, 3Analytics hopes to minimize the risk of medication errors, which can lead to serious health complications.   4. Promote Best Practices: Sharing best practices and guidelines for medication management helps create a standardized approach to safety that benefits both patients and providers.

🩺 Putting Patient Safety First: A Shared Responsibility Patient safety is the foundation of quality healthcare. In every hospital, clinic, and healthcare setting, prioritizing safety is not just a protocol—it’s a promise to protect those we serve. Every year, millions of patients worldwide experience harm that could be prevented. From medication errors to surgical complications, these incidents remind us of the need for vigilance, clear communication, and continuous improvement. Here are key actions we can all take to enhance patient safety: 1️⃣ Foster a Culture of Safety: Encourage transparency and a no-blame approach to reporting mistakes. Learning from errors helps prevent future harm. 2️⃣ Prioritize Clear Communication: Miscommunication is a top contributor to medical errors. Let’s make sure everyone involved in a patient’s care, including the patient, is on the same page. 3️⃣ Continuous Training and Education: New techniques, technologies, and protocols can be lifesaving when staff are well-trained to use them. 4️⃣ Engage Patients in Their Care: When patients are informed and involved in decisions, they become partners in their own safety. 5️⃣ Measure and Monitor: Tracking safety metrics helps identify trends, allowing for targeted interventions. Patient safety is a shared responsibility. By working together, we can build a healthcare system where safety is a standard, not a goal. Let’s continue striving for safer care for every patient, every time. #PatientSafety #Healthcare #QualityCare #ContinuousImprovement

Patient rounding has emerged as a critical strategy in modern healthcare aimed at reducing hospital readmissions and enhancing overall patient care. -Enhanced Continuity of Care: Systematic rounding allows healthcare providers to maintain ongoing communication with patients, ensuring that care plans are followed and adjusted as needed. -Early Issue Identification: Regular patient interactions help identify potential issues or complications early, addressing them before they escalate into conditions that could lead to readmission. -Clear Discharge Instructions: Rounding ensures that patients understand their discharge instructions thoroughly, reducing the likelihood of confusion or non-compliance that could result in readmission. -Medication Management: Healthcare professionals can review and clarify medication regimens with patients, preventing errors and ensuring proper adherence to prescribed treatments. -Tailored Patient Education: Providing personalized education during rounding empowers patients with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their conditions effectively after discharge. -Barrier Identification: Rounding helps uncover any barriers to self-care or follow-up that patients might face, allowing for interventions to address these challenges. #healthcareprofessionals #patientrounding
