Please contact Susanne Arnold at susanne@amia.org for the discount code. In the email, please include: full name, Academic Department, and the primary Academic Forum representative of that Academic Department. Note that AMIA Student memberships are $45, which allow access to JAMIA, all JAMIA Journal Clubs, and other webinars of interest to the biomedical informatics community.
Statement of Purpose
Electronic health records (EHRs) may enhance the safety of patient care, but emerging evidence suggests that they also produce new, unique risks. These risks can emerge due to poor system design and usability, ineffective implementation of the system by the health care organization (HCO), or improper use of the system. While some of the risks may not be apparent to users in a complex health care environment, they have significant implications for patient safety.
In most HCOs, systematic approaches for identifying EHR-related safety concerns are underdeveloped. There is a compelling need to increase awareness of these safety problems and to develop new, proactive strategies to identify EHR-related safety concerns.
Target Audience
The target audience for this activity is professionals and students interested in biomedical and health informatics.
Learning Objective
After this live activity, the participant should be better able to:
Incorporate safety huddle briefings into the workplace as a mechanism for identifying and proposing solutions for a wide range of ongoing EHR-related safety concerns.
