How the CIHI – CPSI collaborative on hospital harm can support patient safety initiatives in your organization
Most patients in Canadian hospitals experience safe care, but when harm happens there is a significant impact on patients, families, the healthcare team, and the health system in general. Until now, there hasn't been a standard approach to measuring and monitoring harm experienced by patients in hospital.
On November 17, 2015 the ICU Collaborative Faculty held a National Call to determine the 2016 National Improvement Initiative. Two topics were presented: Dr. Yoanna Skrobik advocated on the side of Pain, Agitation and Delirium. Dr. Claudio Martin and Cathy Mawdsley advocated for working on End of Life Care. Callers voted at the end of the call and chose the new topic led by Dr. Skrobik: Managing “PAD” in your ICU patient: assessment, treatment and prevention.
Have you ever struggled to unite a team on an improvement project? Or have you ever been in a situation where lack of communication has hindered your improvement efforts?
The fourth webinar picks-up directly from the third session, focusing on the next key step to inform implementation initiatives: identifying barriers and enablers to implementation.

Patient-Centered Care Requires Patient-Centered Insight: What We Can Do To C...Health Catalyst
Health systems and providers are inundated with measurement systems and reporting. Why would we want to add to the measurement mayhem? The real question is, “Are we measuring what matters?”
Carolyn Simpkins MD, PhD, chief medical informatics officer, will discuss how putting the patient at the center of the measurement matrix can bring coherence and completeness to the picture of care delivery performance across the patient journey, and therefore the performance of the healthcare ecosystem.
She will describe the building blocks for patient-centered measurement and how other metrics, patient-reported outcomes, and patient satisfaction fit into this approach. Carolyn will also review the challenges that have kept health systems from completing a patient-centered outcomes approach and why we are poised to break through. Finally, she will share case studies of organizations who have begun to pioneer the use of patient centered metrics to improve care and outcomes.
This interactive webinar is part of the world tour series designed by the World Health Organization's Patients for Patient Safety (PFPS) Global Network and hosted by Patients for Patient Safety Canada, the patient-led program of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute, a WHO Collaborating Centre on Patient Safety and Patient Engagement.
The goal of this virtual discussion is to explore practical solutions for keeping seniors safe. The ideas are drawn from real life experiences noting how COVID-19 impacted seniors, their loved ones as well as healthcare workers and leaders.
The focus of the discussion is on identifying safety risks together with practical solutions for seniors who live at home, in residences and long-term care facilities.
After hearing the perspectives of patients, providers and leaders from Indigenous communities on how they perceive safety and what solutions are/ can be implemented, we will leave the session with at least one practical idea for engaging all patients, families and/or the public in improving patient safety.
Healthcare providers and leaders will address three types of silences in healthcare: organizational silence, patient-related silence, and provider to provider silence.

The third interactive webinar in the series builds on the second session by focusing on the question: once we have evidence to justify implementing a new patient safety initiative, what next?
This second interactive webinar in the series will draw upon Dr. Ian Graham's Knowledge to Action cycle and focus specifically on the central role of developing and synthesising evidence of what to implement and which knowledge translation and implementation strategies are most effective for promoting implementation, and developing the knowledge infrastructure to make best use of evidence.
With the introduction of new technologies, there are opportunities to introduce new types of medical errors (i.e. technology-induced errors). Technology-induced errors arise from interactions between citizens, patients and health professionals and the technologies they use to provide health information and health care (Borycki & Kushniruk, 2008).
Evidence demonstrates that communication is one of the leading contributors to adverse events. Transitions of care epitomize this challenge.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
