Protecting Future Patients through Research
Recently
in Focus,
we highlighted a project from A. Zach Hettinger, MD, MS, Medical
Director and Director of Cognitive Informatics at MedStar Institute for
Innovation (Mi2). The work was funded by a grant from the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ).
Much like the airline industry uses HRO as a safety net, “Context is Critical: Understanding
When and Why EHR-Related Safety” will test the feasibility of using a black box
methodology tied to EHRs. The official public profile has gone live on the AHRQ website!
This
research has great potential for future patients, as it hopes to create evidence-based
recommendations for safer EHR design that may be useful to all stakeholders,
including healthcare teams. Congratulations to the research team and I look
forward to seeing the results of this great work!
