Patient Safety Movement Foundation dringt er bij artsen, patiëntenbelangenbehartigers, ziekenhuizen en medische technologiebedrijven op aan om het delen van gegevens te ondersteunen als onderdeel van het Federal Health IT Plan 2020

Bijna 100 medische technologiebedrijven ondertekenen Data Share Pledge

IRVINE, Californië – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Patient Safety Movement Foundation spoort artsen, patiëntenbelangenbehartigers, ziekenhuizen en medische technologiebedrijven aan om gegevensuitwisseling te ondersteunen als onderdeel van het Federal IT-plan 2020.

“Een van de belangrijkste manieren om vermijdbare sterfgevallen bij patiënten in ziekenhuizen te bestrijden, is dat bedrijven hun gegevens op een HIPAA-conforme manier delen in plaats van winst te vergaren. Het plan dat is voorgesteld door de Office of the National Coordinator voor Health Information Technology zal helpen bij het creëren van de gepersonaliseerde patiëntensnelwegen die we nodig hebben om vermijdbare sterfgevallen in onze ziekenhuizen te verminderen en te elimineren, “zei Joe Kiani, oprichter van de Patient Safety Movement en Founder, voorzitter, en CEO van Masimo. “Als we patiëntgegevens blokkeren, kan niemand algoritmen maken die clinici kunnen waarschuwen voor mogelijke problemen voordat ze zich voordoen. We verliezen al veel te veel mensen aan medische fouten in onze ziekenhuizen, en we kunnen dit niet langer uitstellen. ”

Patient Safety Movement Foundation Urges Clinicians, Patient Advocates, Hospitals & Medical Technology Companies to Support Data Sharing as Part of the 2020 Federal Health IT Plan

Close to 100 Medical Technology Companies Sign Data Share Pledge

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Patient Safety Movement Foundation is urging clinicians, patient advocates, hospitals and medical technology companies to support Data Sharing as part of the 2020 Federal Health IT plan.

“One of the key ways to combat preventable patient deaths in hospitals is for companies to share their data in a HIPAA compliant manner instead of hoarding it for profit. The plan proposed by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology will help create the personalized patient data superhighway we need to reduce and eliminate preventable deaths in our hospitals,” said Joe Kiani, Founder of the Patient Safety Movement and Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Masimo. “If we block patient data, no one can create algorithms that can warn clinicians of potential problems before they happen. We are already losing way too many people to medical errors in our hospitals each year, and we can’t delay this any longer.”

Several years ago, a young man named Rory Staunton died of Sepsis because of exactly this type of fragmented medical information system. “On Tuesday, my son Rory was playing basketball at a school gym, fell and cut himself. His teacher put a bandaid on it. He died 5 days later from Sepsis,” said Orlaith Staunton. “Despite having a high heart rate for his size as measured by a patient monitor at his pediatrician’s office and a high white blood cell count that was detected in the Emergency Department’s blood test machine, Rory was sent home because no one had all of the details of his problems and care. They couldn’t put the high heart rate and high white blood cell count together with the full story to realize he had Sepsis. Had we had data sharing allowing a complete view of his history and condition or the benefit of a predictive algorithm to track my son’s case when he was connected to various monitors and blood test machines, he would probably be alive today.”

About Patient Safety Movement Foundation

Each year, more than 200,000 people die unnecessarily in U.S. hospitals. Worldwide, 4.8 million lives are similarly lost. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation (PSMF) is a global non-profit that offers free tools to help achieve ZERO preventable deaths from hospital errors. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation was established through the support of the Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation, and Competition in Healthcare to reduce that number of preventable deaths to ZERO. Improving patient safety requires a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, medical technology companies, government, employers, and private payers. PSMF’s World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit brings together the world’s best minds for thought-provoking discussions and new ideas to challenge the status quo. Our Actionable Patient Safety Solutions (APSS) provide evidence-based processes to help hospitals eliminate errors. Our Open Data Pledge encourages healthcare technology companies to share the data for which their products are purchased. Visit patientsafetymovement.org.
