Validating the International Classification for Patient Safety (ICPS): The Belgian Experience. Looy L. eHealth week 2010 (Barcelona: CCIB Convention Centre; 2010)
This document outlines key topics and approaches for teaching patient safety in pharmacy curriculum. It discusses 11 topics covered in the WHO curriculum guide, including what patient safety is, human factors, learning from errors, and improving medication safety. It emphasizes teaching skills like communication, teamwork, and quality improvement methods. Educational principles discussed include contextualizing examples, identifying practical applications, and integrating topics throughout the curriculum using case studies and skills practice. The goal is to help future pharmacists recognize system failures and errors to prevent patient harm.
IT systems can help manage healthcare quality by:
1) Enabling information sharing between medical professionals and across sites through electronic medical records and order communication systems.
2) Supporting evidence-based, well-defined care processes through tools like clinical pathways and decision support.
3) Allowing measurement of quality indicators and evaluation of care delivery through structured documentation, coding, and data analysis.
This document summarizes the Dutch approach to patient safety known as the Safety Management System (SMS). It discusses how the SMS was developed in response to research showing avoidable adverse events in Dutch hospitals. The key elements of the SMS include establishing a safety culture, objective incident reporting, systematic risk analysis, and continuous quality improvement. The document also outlines the 10 main intervention areas and basic requirements for SMS certification established in the Dutch Technical Agreement.

InterSystems has developed an approach called "Vision to Value" to help customers establish strategic value from technology solutions over time. The approach involves (1) understanding the customer's vision and challenges, (2) collaborating to develop a shared strategy and roadmap aligned with that vision, and (3) implementing tactical projects that deliver value and optimize solution adoption. Case studies show how engaging at the executive level and addressing important problems, rather than just technical needs, helped customers leverage InterSystems' HealthShare platform for strategic transformation beyond initial projects. The goal is to transition solutions from niche to strategic assets that drive continual value.

Leo Lewis & Gareth John: Prism: Predictive risk stratification modelNuffield Trust
Prism is a predictive risk stratification model that uses data from GP practices and hospitals to identify patients at risk of emergency admission. It was piloted in 25 GP practices to evaluate its functionality, usability, usefulness, and accuracy. The evaluation found Prism could help identify at-risk patients, map services, and support workforce and service planning. Next steps include rolling Prism out nationally, further developing the tool based on pilot feedback, and including additional data sources like A&E data. Prism uses a split-file methodology and data flows to pseudonymously link and share individual-level data while protecting patient confidentiality.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a simplified look into the mechanisms involved in the regulation of respiration:
Learning objectives:
1. Describe the organisation of respiratory center
2. Describe the nervous control of inspiration and respiratory rhythm
3. Describe the functions of the dorsal and respiratory groups of neurons
4. Describe the influences of the Pneumotaxic and Apneustic centers
5. Explain the role of Hering-Breur inflation reflex in regulation of inspiration
6. Explain the role of central chemoreceptors in regulation of respiration
7. Explain the role of peripheral chemoreceptors in regulation of respiration
8. Explain the regulation of respiration during exercise
9. Integrate the respiratory regulatory mechanisms
10. Describe the Cheyne-Stokes breathing

Our backs are like superheroes, holding us up and helping us move around. But sometimes, even superheroes can get hurt. That’s where slip discs come in.
3. Patient safety
• Quality of care:
• Patient-centered
• Accessible
• Accurate
• In time
• Effective
• Efficient
• Affordable
• Safe
4. Patient safety
• Damage can have many faces and can hit all of
us
• Reports IOM:
• 1999 „To err is human‟
• 2001 „Crossing the quality chasm‟
• Targeting the system, not the individual
• “Events” (adverse events, near misses)
• Safety culture
5. Patient safety in Belgium
Federal Government project
• 5 year project
2007-2012
• Funding:
• National budget 7.216.214 € / year
• 104 € / hospital bed
• Hospitals with <100 beds: 10.000 €.
• Free participation, but with engagement
6. Engagement from the hopitals
• Installing:
• A central steering patient-safety-committee
• An operational patient-safety-team
• Implementation of a safety-management-system:
• Event notification
• Analysis
• Improvement actions
• Follow-up (indicators)
• Paving the way for future aggregation:
• Uniformity of data
• Classification taxonomy

10. Why taxonomy?
• Prime target: aggregation of data
• Study and analysis of data-collections:
• Detection of patterns and trends
• Sharing, structuring and communicating available knowledge
• Quality surveillance
• Different levels:
• Hospital
• Between hospitals:
Regional network
National
International
• Specialisms (Netherlands: Neosafe, Prima-RT)
11. Conditions for success
• Clear, understandable and reproducible
• Good balance between:
• Sufficient detail – specificity
• Ease of use: limited training must suffice ( ICD9)
• On implementation:
• Minimal negative impact on existing systems
• Comparative benefits buy-in
• Efficient
• User-friendly
• Broad application:
Acute hospital, psychiatric institution, rehabilitation
center…
In-hospital as well as ambulatory care

18. Application of taxonomy
• The person reporting an event
• The patient-safety coordinator
• The patient-safety team
• The person reporting an event has no benefit in
taxonomy
• Even with a minimal dataset, there is always
ballast for someone somewhere
• Tailoring the notification system to the local
needs is crucial
24. Fitting the taxonomy to the Belgian
situation
• Federal Government provides a uniform XML-
model for data-export
25. Reporter Team PatSaf Team PatSaf Repository
• Input incident (± • Supplementary • Complete • Reporting
taxonomy) info? taxonomy • (Export)
• Nominative or • Analysis if (at least minimal
anonymous needed data set)
• Anonimisation

26. Problems to solve
• Clarification of some topics:
• i.e. ambulatory versus in-hospital care
• Consistency with and linking to existing
classifications:
• Some are obvious: ICD, ATC, ICF…
• But others are not and there is not always
consistency between countries
• WHO
28. Problems
• Legal protection for notification systems
• Patient safety act (Denmark)
• Netherlands
• …
• Safety culture:
• Health-workers
• Organizations
• Patient
• Society
are they all ready for open communication and
management?
29. Belgian patient safety project
• ICPS is not officially released by the WHO yet
• Whish for integration as a standard in Belgian
hospitals
• WHO:
• Request for a use-case in the Belgian hospital-
setting
