Cyber threats to health and patient safety
Patient Safety Learning posted an event in Community Calendar
Through multidisciplinary lectures from expert speakers and lively panel discussions, this Royal Society of Medicine conference will look at the current cybersecurity threats facing health and care organisations and examine the progress made by healthcare institutions since 2017 in rising to the challenge of cybersecurity. We will focus on the issues facing the NHS today and the steps that NHS organisations should take to protect themselves. Attendees will learn how cybercriminals and hostile nation-states pose a threat to patient safety and trust. Delegates will hear from NHSX, NHS Digital and key organisations that combat cyber threats daily. They will also hear directly from experts in the field about the steps they are taking to help healthcare organisations to address their issues and concerns. During this event, you will: Current cybersecurity threats faced by healthcare organisations from both cybercriminals and hostile nations. Specific risks due to online working, increasing digitalisation and prevalence of connected medical devices and artificial intelligence (e.g. data provenance). Specific risks due to the use of medical and telehealth devices in the home and community. How the NHS is equipped to deal with current and future threats. Tools and approaches to protect organisations and devices from attack. Register- Posted

Content ArticleThis report by the consultancy firm Deloitte looks at patient safety across biopharmaceutical (biopharma) value chains, arguing that change is needed to make medications safer for patients and add value to pharmaceutical products. The authors highlight that there is currently great potential for strategies to increase safety, improve equity and enhance patient engagement and experience. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and data analytics, combined with increased incidence of adverse event reports (AERs) and increasing expectation of more personalised, preventative, predictive and participatory (4P) medicine, present an opportunity to improve pharmacovigilance.

Content ArticleDigital healthcare knowledge and tools can enhance the efforts of patients, clinicians, and health systems working to improve healthcare quality and safety. AHRQ’s digital healthcare research (DHR) programme funds research to create actionable findings on what and how digital healthcare works best for these critical stakeholders in healthcare. Now more than ever, the DHR programme is focused on supporting crucial research that identifies how the various components of the ever evolving digital healthcare ecosystem can best come together to positively influence healthcare delivery and create value for its key stakeholders: patients, clinicians, and health systems. This ecosystem includes clinical, contextual, and patient-generated health data as well as the tools used to manage and apply these data, such as advanced analytics and data visualisations. The application of these data can result in new knowledge, which can take the form of computable clinical guidelines and decision support. The DHR program continues to fund research on how these ecosystem elements and the actors who create and use them can best support the quality and safety of healthcare.

Content ArticleHealth 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.

Content ArticleOver the next three years the Development of the Patient Safety Incident Management System (DPSIMS) project will define and deliver the successor to the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) and the Strategic Executive Information System (STEIS). The NRLS is more than 13 years old and due for an upgrade, which is why we're working closely with stakeholders to create a system that will provide resources to support safety improvement and help the NHS learn when things go wrong. The new system will: meet both local and national needs in terms of accessibility to both staff and patients/carers integrate with other systems strike a balance of confidentiality and transparency support an open and honest NHS culture devoted to continuous learning and improvement of patient safety
