After using #AHRQ-funded Fall TIPS Toolkit, study sites saw a 20% decrease in falls & associated injuries, saving nearly $14,600 in avoided costs per 1,000 patient-days. Check out the study from @JAMAHealthForum. #PatientSafety pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36662505/

We've estimated the cost of inpatient falls long enough! Check out actual costs in our new paper "Cost of Inpatient Falls and CBA of Implementation of an Evidence-based Fall Prevention Program" in @JAMAHealthForum! @Mscanlan622 @JasonAdelmanMD @DBatesSafety @FallTIPS_BWH

@deansittig @JAMANetwork @HardeepSinghMD You know they say commas can save lives. It’s time to eat, Dean. It’s time to eat Dean. 😀

I once got a revise-resubmit decision from Dr. Bauchner (former editor of @JAMANetwork) at the bottom it said, "Call me Howard". I thought I was supposed to pick up the telephone at 7 am when I read it, but my coauthor @HardeepSinghMD said, read it again!

So proud of my long-standing colleague and good friend @HardeepSinghMD. The last 15 years have been quite a whirlwind. Your leadership in patient safety has been awesome. Here's to 10 more great years. @UTHealth_SBMI @vahsrd @VUMC_VCLIC @bcmhouston @histalk @AMIAinformatics

Systematic review of safety impacts of information overload in EHRs @JPatientSafety Only 29 studies met inclusion criteria over a decade. Likely not because evidence is little but because how little funding investment has been made in this type of work journals.lww.com/journalpatient…

From @davidweillmd on physician burnout: ‘...most healthworker dissatisfaction driven by external forces, such as profit over purpose...as well as tyranny of EHR which has done more to disassociate provider from her mission than anything that has come along in medicine.’ @thehill

Check out our new paper demonstrating that tools that support patient engagement throughout hospitalization in the fall-prevention process may be associated with a reduction in falls and fall-related injuries! jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Columbia ED Quality Lean Event a huge success!! Great job team!

We are excited to share that #NYP/@ColumbiaMed has received national recognition for excellence in nursing from @anccofficial's Magnet Recognition Program®. The credential is held by 8% of hospitals in the U.S. More: nyphosp.co/2kpNcHq #MagnetNurses
