Healthcare providers have troves of information to manage, and the advent of electronic health records (EHRs) has brought this challenge to the forefront, which is why the ECRI Institute cited information management in EHRs as its top patient safety concern in its annual executive brief.
The ECRI Institute, a non-profit organization focused on improving the safety, quality and cost-effectiveness of patient care, on Monday released its fourth annual Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns for Healthcare Organizations executive brief. According to the ECRI Institute, the annual list is meant to guide healthcare organizations on where to direct their patient safety initiatives.
