Ways to Improve the Effectiveness and Impact of Health Information Technology on Patient Safety and Quality and the Value of Health IT – Part 2: Organizational Best Practices for Optimizing Health IT Safety – National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF)Jan. 10, 2017 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM (ET)
Note: This is a two-part complimentary webinar series jointly sponsored by the Health Information Management Systems Society and the National Patient Safety Foundation.
In the spring of 2015, The Joint Commission released Sentinel Alert #54, focused on the safe implementation and use of health IT. An organizational-wide culture of safety, high reliability and effective change management needs to be established in order to safely implement and use health IT.
This webinar will explore how thought-leading health care providers are establishing a proactive, methodical approach to health IT process improvement that includes assessing patient safety risks, the importance of information governance, utilizing multi- disciplinary integrating quality, safety, and IT departments in addressing potential risks, vendor selection and involvement, change management, and the monitoring of system effectiveness.

- Amy Feaster, vice president of information technology, Centura Health
Improving the Rate of Recommended Care: Looking Back and Looking Ahead – Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)Jan. 12, 2017 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM (ET)
Adults in the U.S. receive only about half the care that’s recommended to prevent, treat and manage some 30 leading causes of illness and deaths. This session’s two speakers have devoted their careers to the uptake of evidence-based care and are eager to look into new findings, based on outpatient care from 2002–2013. Key among the results: best practice rates to prevent stroke and heart attacks have risen, along with colon cancer screenings, while screening rates for breast and cervical cancer have declined; there's more smoking cessation counseling taking place, but rates of testing for diabetes and deploying recommended care to manage the condition have remained unchanged.
Speakers:
- Donald Berwick, MD, MPP, FRCP, president emeritus and senior fellow, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
- Elizabeth A. McGlynn, PhD, director, Kaiser Permanente Center for Effectiveness and Safety Research

Feb. 23, 2017 from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM (ET)
For several decades, ISMP has been regularly reporting on preventable medication events associated with high-alert medications and error-prone processes that have resulted in patient harm. Since 2014, ISMP has made a national call for organizations to adopt a number of consensus-based safety strategies called the Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices (TMSBPs) as a means to reduce and even eliminate the processes and conditions that lead to serious patient outcomes.
Join ISMP as we explore the adoption rates for the 2016-2017 TMSBPs and understand what types of barriers exist for hospitals and health systems that impede their full implementation of these safety strategies.
