Barriers within and across healthcare organizations continue to limit progress in implementing population-specific patient safety processes and outcomes. According to The Joint Commission (2023), fall-injury sentinel events remain the leading issue, highlighting the need for organizational change at all levels and the adoption of clinically relevant technology and innovation to support challenged care delivery systems.
Participants will be inspired by three leading patient safety nurse experts to reengineer care delivery, mitigate fall-related harm, reduce ineffective care, and avoid untested technology trends in patient safety.
With a commitment to improvement, practice imperatives will be introduced to implement population-based fall prevention programs, build on virtual nursing for sustainable enculturation, and define key considerations for selecting artificial intelligence based on purpose, application, and predictive models.
Engagement with experts’ observations, case studies, and applications will provide participants nationwide with strategies to reengineer clinical care processes. These trends and interventions aim to support clinicians’ workflow, promote patient outcomes, and reduce preventable falls and harm.
Presentation topics include:
- Enhance Fall Prevention Programs to Reduce Preventable falls and Protect Patients from Injury.
- Discuss the impact of virtual nursing, level-setting the decision to adopt this type of program and how it can improve patient accessibility and care.
- Differentiate and apply artificial intelligence from machine learning automation to improve patient safety and quality of care predictive analytics.
