Properly used, Health IT can significantly improve patient safety. Many organizations, however, are not achieving all the safety benefits they should from their investment in technology.

On October 6, Advisen hosted a webinar that examined poor clinician compliance, low patient event reporting and other factors that result in sub-optimal performance of Health IT. Panelists also offered actionable recommendations for successfully using technology to enhance communication and coordination within a healthcare facility to reduce risk and improve the management of adverse events.
