Falls and falls with injury are significant sources of morbidity and mortality and can have substantial negative impact on organizational finances. Fall Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety (Fall TIPS) is an evidence-based program that engages patients in their own fall prevention program. This study showed that after implementing the Fall TIPS program, falls and falls with injury decreased in several hospital units resulting in a return on investment of $982,700.

Assessing between- and within-hospital differences in patient safety between Medicaid and privately insured hospital patients. September 18, 2024

https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/assessing-between-and-within-hospital-differences-patient-safety-between-medicaid-and Assessing between- and within-hospital differences in patient safety between Medicaid and privately insured hospital patients. Gangopadhyaya A. J Patient Saf. 2024;Epub Aug 2024. Patients from disadvantaged groups (e.g., patients of color, low income, non-English speaking) experience poorer medical outcomes. This study used hospital discharge data from nearly 2.1 million discharges for Medicaid and privately insured patients. Patients with Medicaid were more likely to be younger, Black or Hispanic, living in low-income neighborhoods, and have more comorbidities than patients with private insurance. When compared with privately insured patients, Medicaid patients experienced significantly higher rates of pressure injuries, catheter-related infections, and six-out-of-seven surgery-related safety indicators. This held true when adjusted for patient demographics, comorbidities, and location.

Findings from the 2024 SOPS Medical Office Diagnostic Safety Supplemental Item Set Database Report showed that: While 72 percent of staff and providers rated their organization’s overall diagnostic safety procedures favorably, medical offices with 6 or more providers were less likely to do so. Only 60 percent of respondents agreed there is enough time available to fully evaluate the conditions that patients present with, review relevant information, and finish patient notes by the end of the regular workday. Approximately 84 percent of respondents agreed that tests, referrals, and other diagnostic procedures are effectively tracked and followed, and that all results are communicated to patients.

Head and neck cancer consensus recommendations

Heterogeneity in diagnostic criteria for extranodal extensions results in inconsistencies in clinical decision making. Moreover, there is an urgent need for standardisation of endpoints in clinical trials for head and neck cancer. In this four-part Series by The Lancet Oncology, the Head and Neck Cancer International Group—a consortium of 21 national head and neck oncology research groups—provides consensus recommendations for clear definitions of extranodal extensions and clinical-trial endpoints to inform and standardise clinical practice globally. https://www.thelancet.com/series/head-and-neck-cancer-consensus-recommendations?dgcid=hubspot_email_infocusalerts-oncology_feature_lanoncheadneckcancer24&utm_campaign=infocusalerts-oncology&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--39y8Juo1h7k3zHCNmCAjen0kdGJsVP3PK8KcxJl2XmxKcVsbAnYUScL7VYQtoeRpzCEp1MijvzPTZY0SH1tfQEoDaCA&_hsmi=324659725&utm_content=322872993&utm_source=hs_email

Impact of automated alerts on discharge opioid overprescribing after general surgery. September 11, 2024

https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/impact-automated-alerts-discharge-opioid-overprescribing-after-general-surgery Impact of automated alerts on discharge opioid overprescribing after general surgery. Rizk E, Kaur N, Duong PY, et al. Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2024;Epub Jul 1. Overprescribing of opioids for acute pain (such as post-surgical pain) can increase the risk for long-term opioid dependence. This study evaluated whether implementation of an EHR alert reduced opioid overprescribing, defined as opioid prescribing exceeding current recommendations. Among a cohort of patients discharged after surgical procedures commonly associated with overprescribing (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, unilateral open inguinal hernia repair, and laparoscopic appendectomy), researchers identified a significant decrease in opioid overprescribing after the EHR alert implementation (48% pre-implementation to 3% post-implementation). Researchers also observed a significant decrease in the average opioid supply at discharge.

Hager P, Jungmann F, Holland R, et al. Nat Med. 2024;Epub Jul 4. Researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders are hopeful that integration of artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) can improve patient safety and reduce clinician burden. This study used 2,400 real patient cases to test several LLM's ability to correctly diagnose common abdominal complaints. Each LLM performed significantly worse than physicians, did not follow treatment or diagnostic guidelines, could not interpret laboratory results, and often failed to follow instructions.

At several points during a hospital stay, a patient may receive a medication review with a pharmacist to reduce the risk of medication errors. This review characterizes themes and components of pharmacist-led medication reviews associated with positive patient outcomes. Patient involvement in goal setting was identified as a successful component that would benefit from additional research.

eCare Plan: New Standards Support Integrating Data for Person-Centered Care Planning

eCare Plan: The eCare Plan project aims to build care planning tools that will improve how we do research and provide healthcare for people with multiple chronic conditions. These tools include data standards and electronic care plan applications that allow all members of the healthcare team (including patients and caregivers) to see and share critical health data from multiple electronic health records across many healthcare settings. Person-centered data often are not easily shared from one health setting to another, in part because electronic health records (EHR) at different settings don’t “talk” to one another. To address this challenge, AHRQ and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases developed a Health Level 7 (HL7) implementation guide that provides data standards for the aggregation and sharing of data from different EHRs and settings to support person-centered care planning and care coordination for people at risk for or living with multiple chronic conditions. The HL7 Implementation Guide is part of the eCare Plan project, which aims to build SMART on FHIR electronic care plan applications that allow all members of the healthcare team—including people receiving care and their caregivers—to see and share critical health data.
