Journey towards zero harm – Improving the quality of care and patient safety
Patient safety is a pressing global challenge, especially amid healthcare disruptions accelerated by crises like COVID-19. This highlights the crucial role of evidence-based clinical knowledge and digital tech in ensuring continuous quality improvement. Healthcare professionals worldwide grapple with similar challenges, including rapid changes and information overload. Addressing the burden of unsafe care is vital to prevent direct harm, waste, and erosion of patient confidence. Healthcare leaders must prioritize creating safe decision-making environments and equipping professionals with essential tools and knowledge.
Fostering a culture of evidence
Rapid changes, such as AI language models, highlight the need to distinguish accurate information from misinformation. Health systems should prioritize evidence, fostering a culture of research. This equips professionals with skills for informed decisions, enhancing research quality and healthcare outcomes. However, as clinical data volume surges, researchers struggle to assess study credibility.
