AHRQ's M&M Reports
The AHRQ publishes Morbidity & Mortality Rounds on the web. While reviewing these I noticed that the web page includes a Did You Know section. The DYK are represented by some form of graph. Some of the DYK include:
- Top seven barriers to implementing patient safety system
- Most common prescribing errors in long-term care facilities
- Physicians and nurses disagree on which clinical information technology would benefit patient safety.
- The vast majority of doctors and nurses believe that decision support technology will change medical practice in the next 5 years, but few actually use it now.
- Many adverse events attributed to inadequate nurse staffing.
Each DYK has a reference attached should you wish to read the original report.
