From Silos to Systems: Leveraging Patient Safety Organizations to Improve Pediatric Safety
In the world of pediatrics, healthcare professionals are responsible for caring for the young and vulnerable in situations where one mistake can have dire consequences. During challenging times for pediatric patients and their loved ones, hospitals should be a trusted resource for safer care. To prevent pediatric medical harm and safety incidents, health systems must prioritize cross-functional collaboration and the continuous exchange of insights. Through patient safety organizations (PSOs), providers can share data to drive improvements in safety and operational performance, uniting the pediatric healthcare community around a strong culture of safety.
In this webinar, chief medical officer at Rady Children’s Hospital, Orange Country and chief patient safety and risk officer at RLDatix will explore how healthcare organizations are tackling safety challenges and how the pediatric field is advancing collective learning to drive better outcomes. Faculty will highlight real examples from two leading PSOs, illustrating how analyzing connected data across systems enables care teams to identify risk factors and take proactive steps to prevent harm before it occurs.

Improving Patient and Healthcare Worker Safety With Artificial Intelligence
With nearly 8 million incidents of medical harm each year and one in four hospitalizations resulting in an adverse event, patient safety remains among the greatest challenges facing healthcare. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) offers a part of a solution. AI can play a role in mitigating risks and improving healthcare outcomes to work toward safer, more equitable care delivery. By implementing predictive and generative AI technology, health systems can support clinical decision-making, uncover the underlying drivers of medical harm and automate tasks to relieve some of the administrative burden on clinicians. However, AI comes with its own challenges. Factors such as AI bias and errors can have catastrophic consequences if left unchecked and health systems must put checks and balances in place to mitigate the unintended consequences of AI.
In this webinar, chief patient safety and risk officer at RLDatix and vice president of scientific affairs at MedStar Health will discuss how AI can be used to improve patient safety, alleviate healthcare worker emotional exhaustion as well as the limitations of current technology.
