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.
