Health Experts Discuss Four Flawed Monitoring Practices

Hi Master,

Recently four health experts participated in a webinar on The Joint Commission's Sentinel Event Alert on the safe use of opioids. On the panel were patient safety experts including Dr. Frank Overdyk, Professor of Anesthesiology at Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine; Ray Maddox, Director of Clinical Pharmacy, Research and Pulmonary Medicine at St. Joseph Candler; Tammy Haslar, Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Franciscan Alliance at St. Francis Health, and Debbie Fox, Director of Respiratory Care at Wesley Medical Center.

 

In this morning's news release, "Health Experts Discuss Four Flawed Monitoring Practices", the Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety has outlined four flawed monitoring practices discussed in the webinar that can be fixed to improve outcomes for patients: http://ppahs.org/2012/10/18/health-experts-discuss-four-flawed-monitoring-practices/

Please consider carrying this article in your publication.

Additionally, with the help of these and other health experts, we are preparing articles on alarm fatigue. If you might be interested in these articles, please contact me.

Best regards,
Michael
