    Doctors and nurses must adapt their routines and improvise their actions to ensure continued patient safety, and for their roles to be effective and to matter as new technology disrupts their working practices. Research from Lancaster University Management School on the use of a computerised physcian order entry system in a hospital in Saudi Arabia, published in the Journal of Information Technology, found electronic patient records brought in to streamline and improve work caused changes in the division of labour and the expected roles of both physicians and nursing staff. These changes saw disrupted working practices, professional boundaries and professional identities, often requiring complex renegotiations to re-establish these, in order to deliver safe patient care. Managers implementing these systems are often quite unaware of the unintended consequences in their drive for efficiency.

    The Healthcare and Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) identified a significant safety risk posed by the communication and transfer of information between secondary care, primary care and community pharmacy relating to medicines at the time of hospital discharge. A reference event was identified that resulted in a patient inadvertently receiving two anticoagulant medications at the same time, possibly causing an episode of gastrointestinal (digestive tract) bleeding. Increasingly, healthcare facilities in primary and secondary care are introducing digital solutions (electronic prescribing and medicines administration (ePMA) systems) to improve medicines safety. However, analysis of the reference event identified how ePMA systems can create their own risks – risks that will need to be addressed as these systems become more widespread. Other risk factors relating to prescribing and the discharge of the patient, including medicines reconciliation, availability of pharmacy services and weekend working, were identified during the investigation.

    Eighteen years after the advent of the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) why is investigating in such a parlous state? Ed Marsden, Managing Director of independent investigative consultants Verita, discusses why making improvements to patient safety comes second place to sorting out problems with the investigative process.

    Drug monitoring is a cumbersome, time consuming (expensive) and somewhat inaccurate process. The challenge set to ESC Software by a GP was to make an IT solution that was easy to use, comprehensive and reliable that would monitor patient testing to improve safety.

    On a day to day basis, the NHS Digital Clinical Safety team are involved in several wide-ranging and very different projects. As you know, clinical safety should be part of everything the NHS do. Every project, every programme, every deployment. Clinical safety should be considered, understood and implemented to the highest calibre. So as you can imagine, we are a busy team. For those manufacturers with systems in use, we deal with live incidents, upgrades, further geographical or functionality deployments. For those creating new systems we are supporting them in their clinical risk management process, running hazard workshops, creating hazard logs and writing the supporting documentation.  We are constantly reviewing and peer reviewing, assessing compliance and marking against the standard requirements. We assist suppliers and health organisations to self-audit their compliance against the standards so they may improve their clinical safety position.  We are assessing new and emerging apps and mobile health solutions to ensure they are going through the same standard of assessment as the traditional computer-based systems and we are providing representation across the NHS to ensure clinical safety remains paramount to the work being done.  One of the biggest branches of our role is training delivery. We know first-hand the importance of having a team that are educated and confident in clinical risk management.

    Health IT (HIT) systems are increasingly becoming a core infrastructural technology in healthcare. However, failures of these systems, under certain conditions, can lead to patient harm and as such the safety case for HIT has to be explicitly made. This study from Habli et al., published in Safety Science, focuses on safety assurance practices of HIT in England and investigates how clinicians and engineers currently analyse, control and justify HIT safety risks. Two areas of strength were identified: establishment of a systematic approach to risk management and close engagement by clinicians; and two areas for improvement: greater depth and clarity in hazard analysis practices and greater organisational support for assuring safety. Overall, the dynamic characteristics of healthcare combined with insufficient funding have made it challenging to generate and explain the safety evidence to the required level of detail and rigour. Improvements in the form of practical HIT-specific safety guidelines and tools are needed. The lack of publicly available examples of credible HIT safety cases is a major deficit. The availability of these examples can help clarify the significance of the HIT risk analysis evidence and identify the necessary expertise and organisational commitments.

    The use of health technology has grown exponentially in the past few decades, and the proliferation and complexity of this technology has led to new risks to patient safety. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) discussed this issue in their report, Health IT and Patient Safety: Building Safer Systems for Better Care, and concluded that achieving better health care requires “a robust infrastructure that supports learning and improving the safety of health IT.”
