    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.

    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

    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

    The aim of the Standard is to establish a framework and set a clear direction such that patients and service users (and where appropriate carers and parents) who have information or communication needs relating to a disability, impairment or sensory loss receive: ‘Accessible information’ (‘information which is able to be read or received and understood by the individual or group for which it is intended’). ‘Communication support’ (‘support which is needed to enable effective, accurate dialogue between a professional and a service user to take place’).
