Best Care at Lower Cost: The Path to Continuously Learning Health Care in America. | AHRQ Patient Sa
This Institute of Medicine (IOM) report presents evidence of poor quality care and significant waste (to the tune of an estimated $750 billion per year) in the American health care system. It emphasizes the importance of continuous learning not only from high performing health care systems but also from industries such as manufacturing, banking, and aviation and highlights the role of mobile technologies and electronic health records in continuously improving health care.https://psnet.ahrq.gov/resources/resource/25029 - 7k - 2019-03-30 -

National Scorecard on Rates of Hospital-Acquired Conditions 2010 to 2015: Interim Data From National
Medicare nonpayment and reporting requirements have stimulated health care organizations to focus on reducing hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) such as health care associated infections and never events. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality regularly tracks HAC rates, including rates of adverse drug events, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, central line associated bloodstream infections, falls, obstetric adverse events, pressure ulcers, surgical site infections, ventilator-associated pneumonias, and postoperative venous thromboembolisms. According to data from the AHRQ National Scorecard, HACs have decreased by 21% between 2010 and 2015. This represents a total of 3.1 million fewer HACs contracted by hospitalized patients over 5 years, saving an estimated 125,000 lives and $28 billion. These findings represent substantial progress and support the success of incentives designed to eliminate HACs as a source of patient harm. -

Are national efforts to reduce drug name confusion paying off? | AHRQ Patient Safety Network
Look-alike and sound-alike medications present a recurring threat to patient safety. This newsletter article summarizes an analysis of reported drug name confusion errors. Although incidents seem to have decreased over time, the influx of generic drug names is contributing to the persistence of the problem. Increased federal attention to the issue, provider use of known strategies to improve practice, and pharmaceutical company testing of names to avoid similarities can help reduce drug name confusion. -
Improving adherence to long-term opioid therapy guidelines to reduce opioid misuse in primary care:
Adherence to prescribing guidelines may help mitigate misuse of prescription opioids. In this cluster-randomized trial, researchers found that a multicomponent intervention targeting primary care providers improved adherence to opioid prescribing guidelines. An accompanying editorial highlights challenges associated with chronic pain management and suggests directions for further research. -

Creating a high-reliability health care system: improving performance on core processes of care at J
This study describes the early experience of a new infrastructure for quality and safety at Johns Hopkins Medicine. A major component of this effort was the 2011 creation of the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality. The institute is led by safety expert Dr. Peter Pronovost and currently has approximately 70 staff members, 140 core faculty, and an annual budget of about $15 million. The new governance structure includes oversight from a patient safety and quality board committee. The overall goal of these efforts was to achieve quality metrics that would meet the requirements for the Delmarva Foundation Excellence awards and The Joint Commission's Top Performer award at each of the 5 Johns Hopkins hospitals (2 academic and 3 community institutions). By 2013, the health system reached at least 96% compliance on 6 of 7 targeted measures, with 4 hospitals receiving the Delmarva Foundation award and 2 hospitals garnering the Joint Commission award, making a strong case for the effectiveness of this robust high-reliability strategy.https://psnet.ahrq.gov/resources/resource/28604 - 8k - 2019-03-25 -
