The 12 days of digital patient safety
Clive Flashman posted an article in Digital health and care service provision
Patient safety not built into the innovation process Most digital healthcare-related startup founders are understandably focused on developing their business ideas, finding and establishing their new markets, and commercialising their offerings. Inevitably, they often do not have specialist clinical safety advice available to them at an early stage, and do not necessarily consider the patient safety implications of their new solutions. Once the offering is ready to come to market is has to pass a range of compliance and other hurdles (more on those later), which, for many founders, ma- Posted

Communicating risk checklist Be cautious using verbal descriptors of risk. If used, ensure these are accompanied by statistical information. Use absolute risk rather than relative risk. Use natural frequencies (i.e. x in 100) as well as percentages. Consider using both positive and negative framing for risk. Communicate uncertainty of data; explain the effect confidence intervals (or deeper uncertainties) have on data. Consider using a mix of numerical and pictorial formats to communicate risk. Make risks relevant. Consider using examples as a comparato- Posted

The report states that the COVID-19 crisis shows how rapidly disinformation spreads. A poll revealed that nearly half (48%) of all British people had either seen or been sent "fake news" about COVID-19, online since the outbreak began. In addition, almost two in five (17%) said they did not know whether they had come across fake news, suggesting that the ability to identify and report the spread of misinformation is less than perfect. In this context, health education, on its own, is insufficient. We need to build health literacy (people's ability to understand health information), and wo
