"Patient safety is not plug and play." Leah Binder, CEO of The Leapfrog Group, takes us through the fascinating evolution of patient safety standards and the critical role of healthcare IT. We discuss lessons from early CPOE systems, best practices for clinical decision support, and how continuous testing and measurement are key to preventing medical errors.
We also explore how AI in healthcare can transform safety, from predicting errors before they happen, to synthesizing sentinel event reports, to reducing clinician documentation burden through ambient listening.
You’ll learn:
- Why even advanced IT systems can miss serious errors
- The role of continuous testing and protocols in safety
- How the federal government is shaping quality measurement through EHRs
- The most promising uses of AI to prevent harm and reduce clinician burden
- What the next five years of patient safety could look like
This conversation is essential for healthcare executives, clinicians, and digital health leaders who want to understand the future of patient safety and the responsible adoption of AI in healthcare.
