    This blog discusses the need to ensure a safe digital health system. Kelsey Flott, Deputy Director of Patient Safety at NHSX explains how owing to the pandemic, the NHS like others, have had to embrace digital technology at a rapid pace to cope with the challenges faced in the healthcare system. Due to this adoption of digital technology, it is vitally important that digital safety is included in current and future strategies.

    Quality improvement initiatives take many forms, from the creation of standards for health professionals, health technologies and health facilities, to audit and feedback, and from fostering a patient safety culture to public reporting and paying for quality. For policymakers who struggle to decide which initiatives to prioritise for investment, understanding the potential of different quality strategies in their unique settings is key. This volume, developed by the Observatory together with OECD, provides an overall conceptual framework for understanding and applying strategies aimed at improving quality of care. Crucially, it summarises available evidence on different quality strategies and provides recommendations for their implementation. This book is intended to help policy-makers to understand concepts of quality and to support them to evaluate single strategies and combinations of strategies.

    Patients falling (falling, slipping) is considered one of the most important patient safety risks in the elderly, in health institutions (hospitals, health centres..., etc.) in particular, and more generally in daily life activities at home, out shopping, etc. In this article I call for a cultural transformation for avoiding falls: from a culture of patient safety that focuses on falls within health facilities to a wider societal culture that must be adhered to by all members of society to prevent the risks of falling in the elderly and other groups at high-risk (including those with specific diseases, disabilities due to congenital causes, accidents...).

    As the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in health and care continues to progress rapidly, it's essential that clinicians ensure this technology is used for the benefit of patients and to assist us in providing equitable and high-quality care both now and in the future. However, it's also crucial that we are aware of the potential risks and unintended consequences of using AI. This month, the RSM will delve into the development of machine learning (ML) and AI and their applications to healthcare. It will also debate the need for ethical guidelines and regulation in this field. By attending this event, you will understand: What is machine learning and artificial intelligence. How AI is being currently applied to healthcare and the potential future uses. How data drives AI and the potential bias within the data. The way ML and AI can lead to errors and harm. The ethical issues surrounding the use of AI in healthcare. The need for regulations and governance, both in healthcare and the broader society. Register

    ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to the upcoming junior doctors industrial action, this event was originally 14 July but has been postponed to 10 October. Meeting the NHS' net zero emission targets requires carbon reductions across patient pathways. Achieving this means delivering high quality, evidence based, low carbon care to our patients. Clinicians are a vital part of the innovation, adoption, and embedding of low carbon practices which prioritise high quality patient care. The BMJ and the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change are hosting a new one-day conference which will focus on reducing the carbon impact of services across the health and care system, and the role that every healthcare professional can play in delivering a net zero NHS. Due to popular demand the event will be both an in-person and virtual event. You can attend virtually, via a live feed, or add your name to the waiting list to attend in-person on 14 July at BMA House, London. Register

    The UK continues to feel the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, both through its impact on the nation’s health, as well as the prolonged impact on the UK economy. Yet despite this, there isn’t enough attention on boosting population health, the NHS and social care to build resilience to future shocks and support economic recovery. For the 2022 REAL challenge lecture, Andy Haldane, Chief Executive of the RSA and former Chief Economist at the Bank of England, will explore the relationship between health and wealth. He will draw lessons from the pandemic and argue for a more holistic economic growth strategy where health and wealth are inextricably linked.

    Population health is an increasingly clear and important priority for the health and care system and is key in addressing health inequalities. This is clear in the NHS Long Term Plan, in the 2022 Health and Care Act, and in the current and likely future policy landscape. A population health-led approach to health and care aims to improve physical and mental health outcomes, promote wellbeing and reduce health inequalities across an entire population. Whether you’re working in an integrated care system (ICS), primary care network, a national body, community group, or you’re someone with lived experience it is likely that you have been thinking about your own role in population health and how best you can help to improve the health and care of the people in your local area. This event from the King's Fund will bring together those working in the NHS, public health, local authorities, the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, and local communities to consider how best they can join the dots between work that is already under way and how to support others in their efforts to improve population health.

    Better use of data for medication safety in hospitals

    Kenny Fraser

    Kenny Fraser posted a topic in Medicine management

    NHS hospital staff spend countless hours capturing data in electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems. Yet that data remains difficult to access and use to support patient care. This is a tremendous opportunity to improve patient safety, drive efficiencies and save time for frontline staff. I have just published a post about this challenge and Triscribe's solution. I would love to hear any comments or feedback on the topic... How could we use this information better? What are hospitals already doing? Where are the gaps? Thanks

    I am currently working to develop a new process for the investigation of incidents related to digital healthcare, something which clearly sits outside of the usual framework or process of investigating traditional patient safety incidents. I would be grateful for opportunities to discuss and share experiences and ideas with others. If you have already investigated these sort of incidents what sort of approach did you utilise and have you reviewed it post event in respect of effectiveness. @Keith Bates Clive has suggested it would be beneficial for us to discuss?

    Some years ago I stopped writing for journals, in favour of blogging & volgging. My reasons were: I specialise in patient involvement and inclusion, so I want the work of me and my colleagues to be easily found by everyone We didn't want our work to end up behind a paywall We work across disciplines and try to bypass hierarchies, especially in promoting action learning and patient led care I can see there are some really good Open Access Journals around. So my question for us all is: Which are the best Open Access Journals?
