If you are interested in Patient Safety and Quality Outcomes, please also check out its other related topics:
HIMSS has set a goal to drive patient safety and quality of care so that by the year 2014, 75 percent of all healthcare information systems are deeply instilled with optimized safety and quality improvement tools. HIMSS promotes and advocates the integration of patient safety tools and practices for all healthcare organizations, clinicians, patients and community members. The benefits of these practices are improved healthcare quality, communication, education, and services. Good patient safety practices and strategies can also help make organizations and processes more accessible, efficient and cost-effective.
You can learn more about patient safety and quality outcomes on himss.org by reading past HIMSS position statements, viewing related committees, task forces and work groups, or learning about how leveraging health information technology is impacting the industry through clinical decision support and e-prescribing.
For more information regarding patient safety and quality outcomes, please contact David Collins.
We have just launched the new HIMSS E-Prescribing Wiki, where you can read entries on all aspects of e-prescribing. We are looking for contributors and editors. Visit now and find how to join.
