This document summarizes the Health Quality & Safety Commission's three-year program to reduce harm from falls, with an initial focus on reducing falls in hospitals. It discusses the serious consequences of falls, especially hip fractures, for older people. It describes the Commission's "adaptive approach" of promoting evidence-based interventions for providers to choose from, rather than imposing a single bundled approach. It outlines how targeted measurement of risk assessment and care planning practices led to significant nationwide reductions in hip fractures from falls and falls reported as serious adverse events.
This document discusses the costs of medical errors and efforts to reduce preventable hospital-acquired conditions (HACs). It notes that medical errors may cause up to 98,000 deaths per year costing up to $29 billion annually. Hospitals have little incentive to improve safety due to externalizing most error costs. In response, policies began denying Medicare/Medicaid payments for treatments from certain HACs considered preventable. This policy was expanded in 2012/2015 and may reduce payments to hospitals with the highest rates of HACs. The goal is to incentivize greater patient safety.
The Evolving Role of Videoconferencing in HealthcareVideoguy
Videoconferencing has increasingly been used for healthcare knowledge transfer over the past 10-15 years. It is used for continuing medical education (CME) courses, medical education by allowing students to take classes remotely, and various types of training and advanced practices. These include grand rounds, tumor boards, telehealth initiatives, learning new medical techniques, and patient education. Videoconferencing is effective for knowledge transfer because it allows for real-time interaction between participants, similar to in-person learning. This preserves the benefits of person-to-person learning while expanding access to education and reducing costs compared to travel. Its use for healthcare knowledge transfer is expected to continue growing.

Emergency preparedness involves having the skills, knowledge, and plans to respond to threats both natural and man-made. It is important for healthcare systems and nurses. Nurses play a key role in disaster response through caring for victims, infection control, triage, and more. However, nurses often feel unprepared for disasters due to lack of education and unclear plans. Healthcare systems also struggle with issues like limited funding and surge capacity. It is important for nurses and facilities to engage in preparedness activities like developing emergency plans and conducting trainings.
Death From Cardiac Arrest is a Real Crime! Can Law Enforcement Reduce Time ...David Hiltz
This document discusses the potential role of law enforcement in reducing time to CPR and defibrillation for victims of sudden cardiac arrest. It provides an overview of studies showing improved survival rates when law enforcement responds rapidly to medical emergencies and uses AEDs. Successful law enforcement AED programs have certain attributes, such as the ability to respond quickly to emergencies, as outlined in the NCED LEA-D best practices checklist. While evidence supports the law enforcement AED concept, ongoing issues include medical oversight, training, and program coordination.
Medical Emergency Response Planning SchoolsDavid Hiltz
1. The document discusses strategies for responding to cardiac arrest and other life-threatening medical emergencies in schools. It emphasizes the importance of having a coordinated emergency response plan, training and equipment for first aid and CPR, and potentially an AED program.
2. It provides examples of successful CPR training programs in schools that have helped educate thousands of students and community members. Teaching CPR to students is promoted as a way to increase bystander CPR rates and improve survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
3. Establishing an emergency response plan that includes effective communication, coordinated response procedures, risk reduction, first aid/CPR training and equipment, and potentially an AED program when needed, is recommended
This document summarizes the evidence for falls prevention exercise programs for older adults. It describes how research has shown that tailored exercise programs delivered over 9-12 months can reduce falls by 35-54%. However, most programs offered are only 12 weeks, which is not long enough to be effective. The document outlines evidence-based programs like Otago and FaME and argues that more widespread access to properly delivered long-term programs is needed to significantly reduce falls and their high economic and personal costs.

This document discusses the potential for adaptive vehicle safety through in-vehicle biomedical and biometric monitoring of drivers. It notes that medical conditions contributed to around 1.3% of crashes according to a 2009 study. Certain conditions like seizures, blackouts, and diabetic reactions preceded 84% of crashes caused by medical emergencies. The document proposes that monitoring a driver's health status could help identify impending medical issues and allow the vehicle to intervene or alert emergency services to prevent crashes. It reviews technologies for monitoring health indicators and identifying drivers biometrically. Finally, it discusses how monitoring could help optimize vehicle settings based on a driver's age, health conditions or emergencies.
Incident decision tree following james reasonDigitalPower
The document describes the development of the Incident Decision Tree by the National Patient Safety Agency in the UK. The tool was created to provide guidelines for NHS managers on determining a fair course of action, like suspension, for staff involved in patient safety incidents. It encourages considering systems failures rather than individual blame, as research shows the majority of incidents stem from systems issues. Initial findings found the tree robust and adaptable across healthcare environments and professions. It aims to standardize the approach and encourage open reporting of incidents.
The document discusses strategies that will reshape the healthcare industry landscape in the future. It predicts that healthcare delivery will transform due to epidemiological, demographic, technological and quality pressures as well as emerging infections and consumerism. Specifically, it anticipates a growth in ambulatory and day care due to lower costs, more emphasis on outsourcing services by hospitals, and a focus on technology, efficiency and value-based care. Universal health coverage is also discussed as a goal to ensure all people can access needed health services without financial hardship.

The document discusses how Kraft Foods used the Method for Analyzing and Structuring Knowledge (MASK) to capture critical tacit knowledge from retiring experts before it was lost. Kraft identified key technical areas at risk of being lost, mapped employees' knowledge, and created over 25 knowledge books using MASK modeling over five years. The MASK process involved scoping topics with experts, eliciting and modeling their knowledge through interviews, validating the models, and sharing the completed knowledge books. The books helped accelerate onboarding of new employees and reduced time spent searching for information. Senior leadership support and an environment that fosters knowledge sharing were critical to the success of the initiative.

Participation has grown to over 50% of trauma-receiving hospitals. TARN also focuses on pediatric trauma cases through a separate initiative called TARNlet.
Patient harm during healthcare is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Each year over 134 million adverse events occur in hospitals in low- and middle-income countries resulting in 2.6 million deaths. Medication errors, healthcare-associated infections, unsafe surgical practices, and diagnostic errors are some of the biggest causes of patient harm. Ensuring safe healthcare is a prerequisite for achieving universal health coverage and strengthening health systems. The World Health Organization works to advance patient safety globally by setting priorities, developing guidelines, and building capacity in member states.
The document discusses the National Safety and Health Services Standard (NSHSS) in Australia, which aims to ensure consistent and high-quality healthcare across the country. It focuses on the Comprehensive Care Standard, particularly preventing falls and injuries from falls. This standard requires healthcare organizations to develop comprehensive care plans, deliver comprehensive care, and minimize patient harm through evidence-based policies and protocols to assess fall risk and provide safety equipment, education, and post-fall management. The case study examines applying this standard to care for an elderly patient at risk of falls and fall-related injuries.

This document discusses pandemic preparedness in acute healthcare facilities. It describes how pandemics can overwhelm healthcare systems if facilities are not properly prepared. Key aspects of preparedness discussed include having adequate isolation capabilities and beds, sufficient staffing levels, and a strategy for quickly developing and distributing vaccines to healthcare workers. The document emphasizes that a multidisciplinary, coordinated effort between all stakeholders is needed for effective pandemic containment.
The document discusses WHO and working for WHO. It begins by outlining that the views expressed are those of the individual presenter and not necessarily WHO's official views. It then provides an overview of WHO as an organization, including that it is a UN agency established in 1948 with 194 member states and headquarters in Geneva. The rest of the document discusses Universal Health Coverage (UHC), what it means to achieve UHC, and advice for those interested in global health careers.
We held an improvement collaborative with 19 NHS providers earlier this year to help improve the management of falls in an inpatient setting.
This resource shows case studies of the providers involved in the collaborative.
This document discusses fracture liaison services (FLS) and their importance in reducing secondary fractures. It notes that in 2010 in Ireland there were over 18,000 new fragility fractures costing €223 million. Without intervention, fractures are projected to increase to over 28,000 by 2025, costing €320 million. The evidence shows that FLS can reduce secondary fractures by 40% and re-fractures by 80%. An FLS systematically identifies, assesses, treats and refers patients over 50 who have experienced a low-trauma fracture to reduce their risk of future fractures. Key components of an FLS include identification of patients, assessment, education, intervention, and integration into orthopedic services.
The document describes new protocols implemented at the Dental College of Georgia to safely provide emergency dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic. A committee was formed to prioritize patients based on true dental emergencies versus urgent cases. Emergency cases included infections with swelling or trauma. Screening involved a phone interview to determine COVID-19 risk and symptoms, followed by an in-person screening. Dentists worked in rotating teams with one N95 mask each to limit exposures. Treatment protocols aimed to reduce aerosols and conserve PPE while expanding provider availability to treat dental emergencies during restricted access to care.
