Patient Safety Learning Laboratory: Making Acute Care More Patient-Centered
Abstract
The Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Patient Safety Learning Laboratory (PSLL) focuses on developing health information technology (HIT) tools to engage patients, family, and professional care team members in reliable identification, assessment, and reduction of patient safety threats in real-time, before they manifest in actual harm.
Conditions: Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI), Venous Thromboembolism, Patient Fall, Catheter-Associated Infection, Severe Hypoglycemia, Opioid-Related Severe Adverse Drug Event, Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcer, Adverse Drug Event, Severe Hospital Acquired Delerium, Rapid Response Related to Arrhythmia.
Primary outcome: Clinical Outcomes: Proportion of hospitalizations with any adverse event.
Enrollment: 21000 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 21,000 participants or records.
