In the world of risk management, we often talk about what providers should document when they care for patients, like the details of the patient's vital signs, to ensure the patient record is complete and accurate. In this episode of Smart Healthcare Safety from ECRI Institute, we're answering recurring questions we get from members regarding other aspects of medical record maintenance—like what to do when a routine audit identifies hundreds of records that have been left unlocked by providers who no longer work for the organization. We'll discuss issues that arise especially in EHRs and steps providers and the organization need to take to protect the integrity of individual records and EHR systems as a whole. Members of ECRI are able to ask our experts a variety of questions, like the ones we discussed in today's episode or a recent request for advice in developing policy to ensure continuity of care when a provider leaves a practice.

In this special episode produced in conjunction with the Partnership for Health IT Patient Safety, we look at safe practice recommendations for opioid prescribing. The United States is in the midst of a deadly opioid use epidemic, which we see contributing to a decline in U.S. life expectancy. To help reverse this trend, ECRI Institute and the HIMSS Electronic Health Record Association (EHRA) recognized the unique opportunity to collaborate on safety issues by combining EHR developer expertise, information, and perspectives with the Partnership’s evidence, knowledge, data, and data analysis available from ECRI Institute in its role as a Patient Safety Organization. The safe practice recommendations are available from the Partnership; additional safety resources are available from EHRA.

Surgical staplers are complex medical devices, and ECRI Institute has warned of potential risks for nearly a decade in our Top 10 Health Technology Hazard reports and in more than 40 hazard and alert notifications; our Accident and Forensic Investigation team has reviewed cases of staplers jammed on tissue or otherwise involved in patient injury. Despite these concerns, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified them as Class I, or low risk, devices. The issue gained public attention in a Kaiser Health Network report, followed by a May 2019 FDA meeting to consider reclassifying the devices as higher risk. In this episode, we talk to Scott Lucas, Director of ECRI Institute's Accident and Forensic Investigation, who presented at the FDA meeting, and Julie Miller, Senior Project Engineer, who has evaluated surgical staplers for ECRI Institute's Health Devices program.

  In this episode of Smart Healthcare Safety from ECRI Institute, we're talking with two ECRI Institute experts about endoscope reprocessing. Inadequate reprocessing of flexible endoscopes led to 30,000 patients being called for follow-up testing between 2005 and 2012, according to one estimate. Contaminated endoscopes can spread infections like HIV and hepatitis B and C, and even in the absence of an outbreak, media coverage of a recall can damage the facility's reputation. ECRI Institute's James Davis and Jackie Ferenschak discuss why endoscopes are difficult to reprocess effectively and strategies for helping staff succeed. In ECRI’s Top 10 Health Technology Hazards for 2019, we identified mishandling flexible endoscopes after disinfection on the list as a potential source of danger that we believe warrants attention. Members of the Healthcare Risk Control and PSO Plus programs can login to see our complete guidance on endoscope reprocessing.

In this episode of Smart Healthcare Safety from ECRI Institute, we're talking with two ECRI Institute experts about patient violence in healthcare. Patient violence is a problem that sits at the intersection of worker and patient safety, potentially affecting anyone who works in, is treated in, or visits a healthcare facility. The issue is enough of a concern that it has appeared on ECRI’s Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns list every year from 2014 to 2018.  Today, we'll look at what we know about the prevalence of violent acts committed by patients, some of the organizational and individual risk factors, and what organizations can do to equip their staff to reduce that risk and respond if violent incidents occur.

Ronni Solomon, Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the ECRI Institute, a non profit organisation, dedicated to improving healthcare through discovering and educating on best medical procedures, devices, drugs etc. explains how the institute works and why they are considered highly credible, when it comes to their findings. The ECRI Institute and Ronni Solomon are very concerned with HealthIT and its associated safety issues. She gives us examples of hazards they have discovered in medical devices and software, numbering them to over 3.5 million in their 50 years of working on the subject. We couldn’t avoid asking her about the ‘ransomware’ cyber attacks happening right now on US hospitals and how the issue must be handled. She gives an interesting possible solution. Ronni Solomon will be speaking at the eHealth Week organised by HIMSS Europe, coming June in Amsterdam. Interviewed by Vicki Kolovou for Tech Talks Central.
