    Chances are, you’ve heard of an electronic health record, or EHR. Over the past 10 years, the vast majority of healthcare providers in the United States have implemented this technology to use in caring for their patients. EHRs have benefited us in many ways and hold tremendous promise. Given their widespread use, this technology now plays a significant role in the routine delivery of health care. Less understood outside the healthcare profession, however, is that EHRs have introduced new kinds of risks to the safety and quality of care, due to serious challenges with EHR usability, or the effectiveness and efficiency of using the technology. These well documented issues can lead to clinician burnout and errors that directly impact patient safety. In response, the MedStar Health National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare teamed up with the American Medical Association to show what they mean by sharing rare videos of real and simulated EHR usability challenges. They believe improving EHR design, development, and implementation to eliminate known patient safety risks and make them easier to use is the responsibility of healthcare providers, EHR vendors, policymakers, and patients, all working together.

    Growing evidence indicates that improved nurse staffing in acute hospitals is associated with lower hospital mortality. Current research is limited to studies using hospital level data or without proper adjustment for confounders which makes the translation to practice difficult. In this observational study published in BMC Health Services Research, Haegdorens et al. analysed retrospectively the control group of a stepped wedge randomised controlled trial of 14 medical and 14 surgical wards in seven Belgian hospitals. All patients admitted to these wards during the control period were included in this study. Pregnant patients or children below 17 years of age were excluded. The records showed that, on average, three out of every thousand patients in the hospital died ‘unexpectedly’. A death is considered as unexpected when a patient suddenly dies during active treatment, with no care plan for the end of their life having been started. Their results are in accordance with previous research and confirm the association between higher nurse staffing levels and lower patient mortality. Furthermore, they also found that a higher proportion of bachelor’s degree nurses is related to a reduction in patient mortality. They proposed a new method to estimate optimal staffing levels using ward level data.

    The number of doctors entering GP training is higher than ever, yet the overall number of full-time equivalent GPs keeps decreasing. This is one of the reasons that patients report increasing dissatisfaction with their ability to access general practice, although they are satisfied with their care once they are seen. In this blog for the King's Fund, Abigail Heller, a current GP trainee discusses the results of a recent survey of 840 trainees about their career intentions. Abigail and many of the respondents hope to pursue other clinical or non-clinical interests alongside general practice, with interests ranging from expedition medicine to medico-legal work to give them the opportunity to broaden their skills However, despite this desire for a more flexible career, the trainees have concerns about an unmanageable workload. The intensity of the working day remains the leading factor in not wishing to undertake full-time GP work.

    Learning from deaths of people in their care can help providers improve the quality of the care they provide to patients and their families, and identify where they could do more.  A CQC review in December 2016, 'Learning, candour and accountability: a review of the way trusts review and investigate the deaths of patients in England'  found some providers were not giving learning from deaths sufficient priority and so were missing valuable opportunities to identify and make improvements in quality of care. This video from the NHS Improvement national patient safety team is a guide for NHS trusts in England on developing and implementing learning from deaths policies within their organisations.

    Physicians, particularly trainees and those in surgical subspecialties, are at risk for burnout. Mistreatment (i.e., discrimination, verbal or physical abuse, and sexual harassment) may contribute to burnout and suicidal thoughts. In a study published in NEJM, Hu et al. carried out a cross-sectional national survey of general surgery residents administered with the 2018 American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination assessed mistreatment, burnout (evaluated with the use of the modified Maslach Burnout Inventory), and suicidal thoughts during the past year. They found mistreatment occurs frequently among general surgery residents, especially women, and is associated with burnout and suicidal thoughts.

    Designed for faculty, medical education curricula developers, residents, medical school administration, Designated Institutional Officials (DIOs), clinical leaders at teaching hospitals, and others interested in undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education. There have been many advancements in medical education over the past 20 years, including how outcomes such as competencies are defined and used to guide teaching and learning. To support this positive change, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has launched the New and Emerging Areas in Medicine series. This first report in the series focuses on quality improvement and patient safety competencies across the continuum of medical education. It presents a roadmap for curricular and professional development, performance assessment, and improvement of health care services and outcomes. The competencies can help educators design and deliver curricula and help learners develop professionally.

    The AMS Portal signposts resources and information to promote learning about antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) and antibiotic resistance.  The Portal focuses on resources in the UK for pharmacists and pharmacy teams and within each section they have identified key resources to support pharmacy practice within the UK. They recognise, however, the need to signpost worldwide information and resources from outside the UK and these are also included as additional links. The aim is to continuously develop the AMS Portal to be accessible across all healthcare professions, encouraging a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach for improvement of antimicrobial use. The AMS Portal is intended as a dynamic ‘living’ resource which is constantly revised and updated.

    The National Guidance on Learning from Deaths was published by the National Quality Board in March 2017 to initiate a standardised approach, ensuring that learning from a review of the care provided to patients who die should be integral to a provider’s clinical governance and quality improvement work. To fulfil the standards and new reporting, this policy identifies and highlights: The Trust’s governance arrangements. The Trust’s processes on reporting, reviewing and investigation of deaths, including those deaths that are determined more likely than not to have resulted from problems in care. The Trust’s processes, to share and act upon any learning derived from these processes.
